MycoRenew

MycoRenew explores how pruning and compost waste can be transformed into biodegradable plant pots made from mycelium. By using local residual streams as raw materials, the project demonstrates how biobased materials can contribute to a circular outdoor environment and help reduce plastic pollution.

VR-Retrofit-4U

VR-Retrofit-4U is an MNEXT project that uses virtual reality to engage residents, professionals, and students in the sustainable renovation of social housing — making the energy transition visible, understandable, and accessible to everyone.

LApure

With LApure, we're working on the sustainable production and recycling of lactic acid, the building block of the bioplastic PLA. By reusing residual flows and used PLA, we're moving towards a truly circular and cost-efficient bioplastics supply chain.

Fibre Save

Fibre Save converts low-grade paper and cardboard waste streams into PHB, a biobased plastic, and turns waste fibres into sustainable biobased plastics using innovative fermentation technologies. In this way, it contributes to a circular economy, reduces CO₂ emissions, and promotes the use of fossil-free materials.

ECOPRO

ECOPRO develops biobased, biodegradable colorants that are recyclable and compostable. This contributes to a sustainable alternative to current fossil-based variants and supports the transition toward a circular plastics industry.

BioColEol

How can we make textiles and packaging circular and sustainable without compromising on color and quality? The BioColEol project develops bio-based colorants that are recyclable, compostable, and safer for both humans and the environment.

WheyNot?

The WheyNot project investigates how whey permeate — a residual byproduct of milk processing — can be upgraded into a valuable biobased feedstock for the chemical industry.

Sustainable alternatives for disposable materials in the biomedical sector

Can conventional, fossil-based plastics – such as polystyrene – be replaced by biobased alternatives without compromising functionality? This question lies at the heart of the project.
