About

HORIZON-CL6-2026-01-CIRCBIO-11: Harnessing the unique properties of marine organisms to deliver sustainable blue bio-based products

We develop biomaterials for engineering applications, particularly in the construction sector. These can be applied in a range of applications including novel bonding materials.  We are currently exploring the use of shells from marine shellfish as a feedstock for our biomaterials.  Importantly, the shells can be sourced as waste from the food processing sector, ensuring minimal impact on the marine environment.  Moreover, we are researching how we can optimize the physical properties of our biomaterials, inspired by how shellfish develop strong exoskeletons, enabling us to generate a range of tuneable biomaterials.   We are also keen to explore costs benefits and asses sustainability compared to conventional products.
