Unilin Technologies and Dieffenbacher partner to commercialize Osiris fiberboard recycling technology, recently installed at Unilin's Bazeilles, France, plant; Osiris can fully recycle wood fiberboards such as MDF, HDF, THDF, wood fiber insulation boards

October 10, 2024 (press release) –

DIEFFENBACHER and Unilin Technologies, the intellectual property division of Unilin, are pleased to announce a cooperation agreement to further commercialize ‘Osiris’, Unilin’s patented fiberboard recycling technology. This partnership strengthens the commitment of both companies to drive sustainability in the flooring and panel industries by enabling the full recycling of wood fiberboards such as MDF, HDF, THDF and wood fiber insulation boards, including post-consumer material. Under this agreement, DIEFFENBACHER will be the preferred partner for offering Osiris machine and equipment technology into fiberboard production processes globally.

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.
