@ZebraLifeEU was at @FoodtechBCN 2026 earlier this month, where Sergio Serrano from @asincar introduced the project and its work on lignin-derived antioxidants, including their potential in food applications.
Almost four years of work on lignin-based antioxidants are coming together in the final ZEBRA-NEWS. A closing update on what ZEBRA-LIFE has developed, tested and learned at pilot scale. Make sure you are subscribed.

@ZebraLifeEU was at @BIOSPAIN_AseBio 2026 last week, where our partner @asincar introduced the project and its work on lignin-derived antioxidants.
Antioxidant potential alone does not make a material suitable as an additive. It must dissolve in the formulation and provide sufficient protection at a viable dosage. @Repsol tested ZEBRA-LMW in diesel and several lubricant applications. Read our blog:

If you have a say in which antioxidants go into a product formulation, we’d like your input.
What do companies need before considering a new antioxidant, and how do renewable alternatives compare?
10-minute survey: forms.office.com/e/LDDBTjJXZ…
Four sectors tested, one question each time: can a lignin-based antioxidant do the job of a fossil-based one? Rubber compounds have given the strongest results, with cosmetics close behind.
The finish line is just a few blocks away
Before we get there, we've pulled together every major moment since the project began into a single timeline. The whole story in one place. 👇🏼
Every cosmetic formula needs antioxidants to stay stable and protect skin, and most of them are synthetic. Our new blog takes you through the process and what we found testing lignin as a natural alternative.

Can additives made from a pulp-industry residue stand in for fossil-based antioxidants in rubber?
Our partner CTR has put together a great summary of the rubber validation work in ZEBRA-LIFE. Read their summary to see how the validation went.

In the past weeks we’ve focused on circularity: keeping side streams in use and closing the loop. Today we move to the next question: how do we turn lignin from black liquor into bio-based antioxidants?
The answer is OHRIGINS, a technology developed by @CENER_Energia.

On the ZEBRA-LIFE Multimedia section, the partners explain the project in their own words: a tour of the new CENER pilot plant, and the ZEBRA-Talks interview series on the target markets, rubber, food, fuels and lubricants, and cosmetics. Have a look: zebra.bio2c.es/

A couple of weeks ago, @WOOD4PLASTIC and @ZebraLifeEU held a webinar on circular economy becoming an industrial reality and the challenge of building real circular value chains across industries. You can watch it here:

📻 🎧 #Valorizar un #residuo 🌱 y conseguir un #antioxidantenatural que tiene aplicaciones en el sector #cosmético, de la #alimentación o los #biocombustibles, es uno de los puntos fuertes que se han conseguido lograr gracias a la tecnología #OHRIGINS desarrollada por #CENER , en el proyecto @ZebraLifeEU tal y como explica 🎙️ Vicente Lopez Fernandez, director de Innovación del Dpto. de Biomasa en esta entrevista realizada para @SERnavarra en el programa "Con los pies en la tierra" // #HoyporHoyNavarra
✳️ @ZebraLifeEU es un buen ejemplo de lo que ayuda la existencia de programas de financiación como #LIFE de la #ComisiónEuropea para desarrollar proyectos innovadores en el ámbito de la #sostenibilidad.

Meet the @ZebraLifeEU team and see the pilot plant in action: antioxidants that outperform BHT, fully bio-based, 840 hours of continuous operation.
On to thousands more.

Circularity isn’t just sustainability — it’s a competitive edge.
Through the @ZebraLifeEU project, we’re building on what already exists, turning by-products into the starting point of entirely new value chains.
