Thinking in the Cycle of Nature

With the ambition to pioneer the circular economy, we push boundaries.

AustroCel’s fully integrated Biorefinery is based on a circular and zero waste model, which makes circular economy part of our DNA. Our special technology converts sustainably produced forestry by-products into high-quality specialty ingredients, biofuels and biomaterials by utilising all residual flows in the value chain.

Certified B Corporation Logo

Certified B Corporation

The seal of quality certifies a special commitment in the areas of sustainability; B-Corp stands for Benefit Corporation. It redefines economic success: entrepreneurial goals are reconciled with ecological responsibility and social commitment. We are proud of the fact that we received a very good rating in the recertification process. This makes AustroCel Hallein part of a network of only 9,500 companies worldwide that demonstrably meet the highest standards of environmental and social sustainability.

Our Goal: Climate-neutral production

AustroCel Hallein's goal is to produce climate-neutrally and without fossil CO by 2030. Since 1999, fossil CO emissions have fallen from 156,000 to 6.050 tons (2024). Fossil gas is now only used when boilers are started up, with the aim of switching completely to renewable energy.

As a partner of the Salzburg 2050 strategy, the company contributes to climate protection with green electricity and district heating and develops projects for the use of biogenic CO₂. In the long term, AustroCel aims to bind more CO₂ than it emits.
