Sylvamber™ continues this line with an upcycling approach: turpentine, a side stream of paper and board production from softwood, is fractionated – mainly via DRT, acquired in 2020 – yielding alpha- and beta-pinene as starting materials. The result: over 50% renewable carbon and a Green Score of 70–100% (manufacturer data).
