PROSPLIGN

The PROSPLIGN project – PROSPecting natural LIGNin biodiversity towards unlocking value-added bioactive motifs and molecules – is a European-funded Research and Innovation Action project.

The project’s comparative advantage lies within its core conceptualisation. Traditional lignin depolymerisation methods utilise forcing conditions which destroy lignin’s native rich chemical functionality and potential for bioactivity. The PROSPLIGN partners have designed an innovative research set of processes to tackle the technical hurdles in the management of this complex polymer.
