Comprehensive support for enterprises and research institutes in implementing circular economy and ESG principles
We help with the transition to a circular economy and implement ESG principles, paving the way for sustainable development and success. We offer comprehensive solutions, including product life cycle analysis, ESG strategy development, identification of innovative solutions, and support in their implementation.
Research and Innovation
Circular Economy
We conduct research on the circular economy, environmental biotechnology, and innovative methods for biomass management.
Recycling
We focus on the recycling of wood-based materials, plastics, and textiles, as well as conducting extensive environmental, economic, and social analyses.
Sustainable Forestry
We promote sustainable forestry, including the use of alternative fertilizers to enhance forest productivity.
Support for Businesses
Transformation
We help businesses transition from the traditional economic model to a circular economy, implementing sustainable solutions.
Optimization
We assess the suitability of recycled materials in the wood industry and other sectors, optimizing processes and increasing resource efficiency.
Efficiency
We develop innovative materials and technologies in line with circular economy principles, improving companies' competitiveness in the market while minimizing negative environmental impact.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Carbon Footprint
We offer comprehensive analysis of the life cycle of products, processes, and technologies.
Our services include assessments of:
LCA (Life Cycle Assessment),
LCC (Life Cycle Costing),
S-LCA (Social Life Cycle Assessment),
LCSA (Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment), as well as carbon footprint calculations.
Our analyses are tailored to industry specifics, helping clients meet ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reporting requirements, such as those aligned with the CSDR directive, and in creating Environmental Product Declarations (EPD).
We have experience conducting LCA analyses for various sectors, including the wood industry, furniture manufacturing, construction, energy, and agriculture. Our analyses cover all stages of a product’s life cycle, from raw material acquisition, production, and transportation, to usage, disposal, or recycling.
As part of our carbon footprint assessment services, we offer the following:
Calculating the carbon footprint of a product or process
Identifying key sources of CO2 emissions
Developing emission reduction strategies
Implementing emission management systems

Plastic and Wood Waste Recycling
We optimize recycling processes and waste management, with a particular focus on plastics and wood waste, such as post-consumer wood.
Our efforts focus on:
Developing innovative plastic recycling technologies, including the separation of polymer blends, material recovery, and reuse.
Supporting sustainable wood waste management by optimizing processing, recycling, and composting.
Conducting research and analysis to improve recycling processes and reduce the environmental impact of waste.
Wood Economy and Sustainable Forestry
Our efforts focus on developing innovative technologies in wood chemistry, including the search for new, eco-friendly methods to protect wood from pests and fungi.
We are working on solutions that will enable more efficient use of wood as a raw material for biofuel production. Our activities also cover sustainable forest management, the use of alternative fertilizers to enhance tree growth and productivity, optimization of forest resource management, and the protection of biodiversity and forest ecosystems.
We collaborate with foresters and companies in the wood industry to jointly develop solutions that support the sustainable use of forest resources.
Biomass and Renewable Fuels
Biomass, including wood, is an important renewable resource that can be used for energy and fuel production.
We produce solid fuels, such as pellets, from biomass, including wood.
Biomass fuels offer many advantages, such as low carbon emissions, renewability, and reduced dependence on fossil fuels.
We also provide expert opinions and conduct research on solid biofuels.
Environmental Biotechnology
Environmental biotechnology and bioconversion of by-products and waste are key areas of our work.
We focus on bioremediation and soil reclamation.
Our expert, in collaboration with scientists from Poznań University of Technology and Lodz University of Technology, developed an innovative and effective technology for cleaning soil contaminated with creosote.
