UPM Biochemicals

UPM Biochemicals takes the production of wood-based renewable biochemicals from idea to reality. The UPM biorefinery, which is currently under construction in Leuna, will be producing bio-based glycols, renewable functional fillers, lignin, and industrial sugars and is planned to ramp up by the end of 2023. UPM will use wood to the molecular level and produce sustainable chemicals used in products of our everyday lives. This new business will support the transformation of UPM as it will drive the transformation of our society towards a more sustainable lifestyle - true to UPM’s vision to innovate for a Future Beyond Fossils.
