This project focuses on the research of three biocomposite building materials that will pump-prime the development of bio-based building. These three building materials form a basis for building constructions and provide an inspiration for the building industry in terms of the state-of-the-art possibilities.

Properties

• Making use of natural fibres and biopolymers;
• Biocomposite building material as a replacement for sheets, profiles and sandwich panels.

Benefits

• Cost reduction and sustainability of building components;
• Lower price and environmental impact;
• Solution for the increasing shortage of raw materials in the building trade;
• Better environmental properties than current building materials;
• Better price and performance than current building materials;
• Substantial reduction in the use of material and in material weight;
• Non-toxic and recyclable
