OrganoClick

The OrganoClick story starts back in the 1990s when Professor Armando Córdova and Associate Professor Jonas Hafrén were doctoral students at the Royal Institute of Technology and the STFI-Packforsk research institute, (now RISE). OrganoClick is founded by Armando Cordova, Jonas Hafrén, Mårten Hellberg and Serendipity Innovations. OrganoClick generated widespread attention for its green chemical technology and wins several awards, including one from King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden’s 50th anniversary fund for science, technology and the environment. OrganoClick and Fredahl Rydéns received EU funding through the Eco-Innovation programme to develop a new biocomposite material and a coffin made from the material. In 2017, OrganoClick was also selected for the Unreasonable Goals programme, which aims to accelerate the achievement of the UN’s 17 Sustainability Development Goals. We are now structured into four business areas with a central production function. As interest in our products grows sharply, we have decided to double the capacity of our plant to 20,000 tonnes. Using our patented OrganoClick technology to modify cellulose, various functional organic molecules can be “clicked” on to cellulose fibre with strong chemical bonds.
