About the project
The Thermoplastic Lignin Production (TLP) project will develop a first-of-a-kind biorefinery producing a completely new renewable and bio-degradable biomaterial (called RENOL®) from lignin, a by-product of the kraft pulping industry. The large-scale production site will produce the patented, renewable, and high functional bio-based material RENOL® from lignin, a by-product of the kraft pulping industry. RENOL® can be used in bio-composites for producing packaging films, such as wrapping plastics and plastic bags.
Impact of the project:
The innovative solution developed by Lignin Industries can be used in bio-composites to produce packaging films such as wrapping plastics and plastic bags. The innovative solution will replace fossil-based plastics, such as polyethylene, and help avoid more than 70% of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced by conventional materials.
Funding instrument Innovation Fund
Spinverse’s role
Lignin Industries secured their success in the highly competitive application process with support from Spinverse funding experts.
Spinverse helped Lignin Industries in structuring their proposal and in planning the schedule to reach the high quality required in the project proposal on time.
By far, Spinverse is the best funding expert we have worked with. The effort and engagement we got during the funding application process was excellent and we are very happy with the result.

About the project
The LIFE Lit4Nature aims to establish a stronger, evidence-based system for biodiversity conservation and restoration across Lithuania. Major focus will be placed on strengthening the national biodiversity monitoring system, improving data collection and integration and on introducing innovative monitoring approaches to support evidence-based conservation and restoration decisions.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to boost stronger biodiversity and ecosystem recovery across Lithuania through nationwide conservation and restoration. Further, it wants to achieve better national coordination for efficient and well targeted conservation measures and their funding.
Funding instrument LIFE Programme
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal.
The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan.
Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”
