Grassification aims at valorising roadside grass clippings as renewable feedstock in industrial processes.
During the webinar we will present the possibilities and feasibility of producing different building materials and landscape infrastructures from grass fibres.
Not only the results from Grassification will be presented but also some other relevant experiences from the market.
