Unilin’s IP division partners with DIEFFENBACHER to roll out the fiberboard recycling technology Osiris

The Osiris technology, which utilizes a steam explosion process to recover high-quality recycled fibers from waste fiberboard, has been successfully validated through the Osiris 1.0 pilot installation at Unilin’s Bazeilles plant, operational since 2022. The technology does not only play a crucial role in advancing a circular economy within the industry, but very important, it also offers a cost-effective solution for wood fiber supply with an impressive return on investment business case.

“Our partnership with an industry leader as DIEFFENBACHER marks a critical step in the rollout of the Osiris technology across the fiberboard industry,” said Bart Van der Stockt, President of Unilin Technologies. “Sustainability is a key differentiator in our sector, and by partnering with DIEFFENBACHER, we are able to extend the positive environmental impact through the entire industry. Moreover, the Osiris technology provides not only environmental benefits but also a substantial reduction in the production costs of new fiberboard. We are confident that, together with DIEFFENBACHER, we can deliver the solutions that producers need to seamlessly integrate this groundbreaking technology into their existing production processes.”

Jean-Christophe Zimmermann, Head of Sales of DIEFFENBACHER’s Recycling Business Unit, commented on the partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to announce this cooperation with Unilin Technologies, the industry innovator. As the importance of fiberboard recycling continues to grow, our ability to offer technical equipment aligned with the Osiris technology will be a significant step forward in transforming the fiberboard industry and advancing towards a more sustainable future.”

The partnership between DIEFFENBACHER and Unilin Technologies represents a shared vision of innovation and sustainability, with both companies committed to driving transformative change in the fiberboard industry. By combining their expertise, both companies aim to make a significant contribution to the circular economy and set new standards for sustainable fiberboard production worldwide.
