Unilin Technologies, the intellectual property division of Unilin, has been granted U.S. patent US 12,325,148 for its innovative Osiris recycling process, expanding international protection for the technology beyond its existing European coverage. The patent represents a significant step forward for circular wood fiber solutions in the North American market.

The Osiris process addresses a critical industry challenge by transforming wood fiberboard waste—materials typically destined for landfills or incineration due to their complex composition—into clean, reusable wood fibers. These recovered materials can be seamlessly integrated into production lines alongside virgin materials, supporting both sustainability goals and operational efficiency.

"By receiving this patent grant for the Osiris technology in the United States, we are expanding its impact to a major panel production market in the world," said Louis Van Roy, business development director at Unilin Technologies. "This U.S. patent underlines the global relevance of the technology to turning waste fiberboards and production waste into high-quality raw materials."

Van Roy emphasized the technology's combined environmental and economic benefits: "Osiris brings together sustainability and profitability. It not only supports greener production practices, it also provides manufacturers a clear competitive advantage. By reducing dependency on fresh wood inputs, the technology delivers both environmental responsibility and significant economic advantages—a combination we believe has the power to transform the industry."

The Osiris technology is available through exclusive licensing from Unilin in partnership with Dieffenbacher, which provides the necessary equipment and industrial integration services.
