Fazer Xylitol

INNOVATION FROM OATS

Fazer brings xylitol production back to Finland and builds a xylitol manufacturing facility in Lahti using hull as the raw material. Utilising the side stream of the oat milling process with state-of-the-art technology for xylitol production is a great example of a modern circular economy innovation. The xylitol market is expected to grow, and Fazer targets Northern Europe and beyond with this plant-based raw material of Finnish origin.

Construction

Building up the factory

Construction work for the new manufacturing facility in Lahti, Finland started in February 2019 and Fazer Xylitol will be commercially available at the beginning of 2021.

Circular economy

Utilising the oat mill's side stream

Xylitol is produced from oat hulls, which are derived as a side stream of the oat milling process. The part of the oat hull which is not needed in the xylitol process is used to produce bioenergy at the site.
