Sami Selkälä to speak about biobased coatings
Sami Selkälä, founder of Innomost, will speak at the Specialty Papers Europe Conference on 8 September in Vienna, Austria.
His presentation, “From forest side streams to fossil-free, high-performing coating chemicals for the packaging industry”, will focus on how forest industry side streams can be transformed into sustainable, high-performance biobased coatings for the packaging industry.
The Specialty Papers Europe Conference is one of Europe’s leading events for the specialty paper, fibre-based packaging, and advanced materials industries. The event brings together manufacturers, material innovators, converters, packaging experts, and sustainability leaders to discuss the future of packaging materials, barrier technologies, and circular economy solutions.
Suberin innovation for packaging
At the conference, Sami Selkälä will present how Innomost is developing next-generation biobased coating materials from birch bark side streams.
Suberinno™ Suberin is a versatile suberin-based material that works both as a 100% standalone biobased coating solution and as part of existing coating formulations. The material also enables new innovations and functionalities, including oxygen barrier performance for packaging applications.
As industries continue to seek fossil-free alternatives, demand for renewable and high-performing biobased coatings is growing rapidly across the packaging sector.
From side streams to high-value materials
Innomost develops and manufactures high-value biobased ingredients from upcycled forest industry side streams, with a strong focus on suberin innovation and sustainable material development.
By transforming birch bark side streams into advanced biobased materials, Innomost supports the transition towards fossil-free packaging, sustainable coatings, and circular economy business models.
We look forward to connecting with industry peers, partners, and innovators at the event.
