About

We develop and scale-up modified CNSL derived ingredients and intermediates for high-performance applications, including bio-based binders for bitumen, epoxy and alkyd resins, coatings, detergency and cosmetic formulations.

Within the scope of HORIZON-CL6-2026-01-CIRCBIO-07, we aim to contribute as an industrial and technological partner advancing bio-based innovation through scalable upgrading pathways of underutilised biomass streams. Our expertise covers:

  • Extraction of vegetable oil from biomass

  • Chemical modification of bio-based feedstocks

  • Polymerization

  • Formulation and functionalisation for performance materials

  • Scale-up readiness and industrial applicability

  • Substitution of fossil-derived components in construction and specialty chemicals

We are particularly interested in collaborative projects integrating biotechnology and biomanufacturing concepts to enhance the functionality, performance and sustainability of bio-based materials, while contributing to EU climate goals, circular economy objectives and strategic autonomy in bio-based chemicals.
