About

We are preparing the proposal on the bio-based polymer production by utilizing alternative agricultural residues, moving beyond traditional lignocellulosic and food waste sources.

  • Biomass feedstock which are selected for their rich composition in term of high valorization potential.

  • Green processing techniques for nanocellulose reinforcement enable eco-friendly and scalable biopolymer production.

  • Development of UV-resistant lignin-based plastics, nanocellulose composites for lightweight applications, and bio-resins for coatings.

  • Full utilization of biomass components, ensuring zero waste

  • Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) Compliance.

The expected outcomes include the development of high-performance biodegradable materials, reduction of microplastics pollution, and creation of new market opportunities in sustainable packaging, construction, and agriculture.
