Imagine turning leftover hemp crops and mushroom roots into strong building blocks and wall panels. Instead of using toxic plastics and chemicals, this method uses nature's own glue to create materials that are safe for people and the planet. It's like growing your house parts in a lab to make them easy to recycle later.
The construction industry relies on toxic, non-recyclable materials that contribute to climate change. There is a lack of scalable, certified bio-based alternatives that are easy for professionals to implement.
Production pilot lines for bio-composites using co-extrusion and 3D printing. Concrete products include indoor/outdoor flooring, acoustic panels, and building blocks.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with high carbon footprints in soundproofing — this project developed bio-composite intermediates that create non-toxic acoustic panels. This allows you to offer sustainable alternatives to traditional synthetic foams.
If you are a contractor dealing with the demand for circular economy buildings — this project developed bio-based building blocks and green wall systems. These materials are designed for easy use by professionals and amateurs in renovation.
If you are a firm dealing with a lack of sustainable filaments for large-scale printing — this project developed additive manufacturing techniques for bio-composites. This enables the production of customized, recyclable construction elements.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost-per-unit information is not provided.
Yes, the project aims to develop production pilot lines using technologies like co-extrusion, foaming, and injection moulding to ensure industrial viability.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not disclosed, but the project involves 15 partners across 7 countries.
The project engages key actors specifically for the design acceptance and certification of the new products to ensure they meet industry standards.
The project runs from 2024-07-01 to 2027-12-31, suggesting that pilot-tested solutions will be available toward the end of 2027.
The consortium is highly industry-oriented with a 40% industry ratio, comprising 6 industrial partners and 6 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 7 research entities across 7 countries, indicates a high probability of successful technology transfer from the lab to the factory floor.
