Fivefold Award Winner: JACKOBOARD® LIGNIN – The CO₂-Optimised Construction Board Innovation Excels at the Plus X Award

Building responsibly with lignin – a renewable raw material from nature

What impressed the jury most: at the heart of the innovation lies the use of lignin – a bio-based raw material that occurs naturally in plant cell walls and is generated in large quantities as a by-product of the paper industry. Its use in the core of the board significantly reduces the CO₂ footprint – without compromising on compressive strength, dimensional stability or ease of installation. JACKOBOARD® LIGNIN successfully bridges the gap between environmentally conscious material use and professional-grade performance.

A balance of CO₂ reduction and technical excellence

The Plus X Award jury praised the concept as “a bridge between ecological responsibility and technical excellence. The CO₂-optimised construction board combines innovation, quality and practical usability – and shows how sustainable building can be implemented on a broad scale.”
As the world’s largest innovation award for technology, sports and lifestyle, the Plus X Award honours products that stand out for their exceptional quality and forward-looking concepts.

Sustainable development by conviction

“With JACKOBOARD® LIGNIN, we’ve developed a product whose core material is manufactured in a CO₂-neutral process,” explains Dr Mark Plate, Head of Sustainability at JACKON Insulation by BEWI. “Our goal was to reduce environmental impact to an absolute minimum while maintaining the high standards our customers expect – and we’re proud to have achieved that. Receiving awards in multiple categories confirms this commitment.”
