Company
Brightplus refines agricultural and industrial side streams into coatings and material building blocks. The materials run on the lines manufacturers already have.
One technology, three business units
Each unit covers one part of the same chain. Customers can start at any point.
Low-energy refining that captures material fractions from biomass side streams. The process runs where the side stream is, so low-value material is not shipped across the continent.
Waste-to-valueCoatings, barriers and adhesive composites for glass, paper and wood. Supplied as films, dispersions or granulates for extrusion.
PackagingCoatings and bio-synthetic materials for textiles, formulated to the product’s performance targets and applied on the lines the manufacturer already runs.
TextilesHow we develop materials
The same development approach runs through all three units, from lab batch to pilot production.
Grades are formulated from a small set of ingredients. A new colour, thickness or finish is a change to the recipe, not a new stock item.
Bio-based textile and bio-based film are joined without an adhesive layer.
Water repellency without fluorocarbon chemistry.
A container-scale unit converts CO₂ from air into PHA, a functional bioplastic.
Production and quality
Formulation, lab testing and pilot builds run in Oulu. Final validation is done at accredited external labs.
Certified
Company-level certificates. Product certifications sit on each industry page, OEKO-TEX on the textiles page.

Our story
Brightplus started by working out how to use side-stream materials. The work has moved from R&D to piloting and first volume production.
