From Ash to Assets - Join the Webinar to discover the value of wood ash

Have you ever wondered about the untapped potential hidden in everyday by-products?

We invite you to become part of this unique opportunity to tackle our challenge. Together with Holmen’s experts and the companies in our BioBoosters network, you will have the opportunity to develop innovative methods and solutions.
