Turning biomass into valuable products

With more than 15 years of experience in turning biomass into valuable products, and as part of the Tanovis Group, we help manufacturers accelerate their transition to circular, low carbon production by providing ready-to-use, high purity lignin solutions engineered for real industrial conditions.

Part of Tanovis group

PLT is a company within the Tanovis Group – an expanding group of ventures that turns lignin’s scientific potential into tangible results. Each venture extends the Tanovis lignin platform into a new field, applying the same core technology in ways that improve animal health, advance material performance, and enhance human wellbeing. Tanovis’ pioneering work with plant-based polymers forms the scientific backbone of our own development, giving us a proven platform to advance innovation and materials science with confidence.

 

 

Our history

2025

Having pioneered the extraction of different types of lignins, Tanovis and its team, have more than 15 years of experience in turning biomass into valuable products.

2020

  • PLT Innovation AG was established as the industrial arm of Tanovis Group — created to bridge the gap between research in lignin chemistry and real world industrial deployment.

2017

Tanovis AG is etablished and acquired the production, the products and the team of researh company -Greenvalue. In order to build bio-based ventures at scale.

2005

Introduced Protobind®, under research company GreenValue, for validating lignin-based industrial applications.

2004

Founded research company GreenValue and set up an industrial plant in India to unlock lignin’s industrial potential.

Our mission is to develop and deliver high purity lignin based materials and knowhow that enable industries to replace fossil derived inputs without compromising performance, cost, or scalability.
