New materials for the materials transition
The transition from fossil to renewable raw materials is essential in the materials transition. At MNEXT, we investigate how biobased materials can replace traditional fossil-based raw materials without compromising quality or performance. Think of bioplastics, biocomposites, and other materials produced entirely from natural sources.
These materials are finding their way into a wide range of sectors – from packaging and consumer products to construction and the automotive industry. They offer not only environmental benefits but also economic opportunities for companies that want to lead the way in the sustainable transition.
In addition, we are working on energy solutions based on biobased raw materials, such as biofuels and bioenergy. Using innovative processing methods, including fermentation and pyrolysis, we develop alternative energy sources that are less harmful to the environment and contribute to a circular economy.
Stronger together in the circular economy
Collaboration is the key to success. That’s why at MNEXT, we work closely with companies, governments, and knowledge institutions. By testing and scaling up our innovations, we ensure that biobased raw materials and applications actually find their way to the market.
Our research accelerates the application of sustainable technologies and helps companies make a tangible contribution to the circular economy. Together, we build a future in which natural resources are used efficiently, responsibly, and renewably.
With our biobased innovations, we aim to accelerate the materials transition and contribute to a sustainable society. Want to know what MNEXT can do for your organization? Contact us and discover how we collaborate on biobased raw materials and applications for the world of tomorrow.
MNEXT Facilities and Results
At MNEXT, we have modern facilities that enable us to conduct practical research into biobased raw materials and applications. From laboratories for materials development and biochemical processes to pilot plants for scale-up, our infrastructure enables us to take innovations from concept to commercially viable solutions.
Thanks to these facilities, we achieve concrete results. We develop new biobased building materials, bioplastics, and biocomposites, test the performance of materials in real-world applications, and optimize production methods that contribute to the materials transition. Our projects deliver demonstrable benefits for partners: more efficient use of natural resources, reduced environmental impact, and faster integration into the circular economy.
Discover the possibilities
With our biobased innovations, we aim to accelerate the materials transition and contribute to a sustainable society. Research results are incorporated into the educational programs of Avans and HZ, and help organizations achieve their biobased ambitions.
