Research collaboration in Biomaterial Processing and products

VTT Technical research Centre of Finland's research area Biomaterial processing and products does applied research on following themes:

• Fiber web processes

• Biopolymer films, foams, and composites

• Biorefining processes

• Lignin and sidestream valorization

• Soft materials

• Bioinspired materials

• Barrier packaging solutions

• Cellulose coatings and films

• Textiles and nonwoven materials

VTT has launched its Energy First initiative  focusing on developing energy-efficient processes and products, particularly in the forest industry. The Energy First theme aims to address challenges such as rising energy costs and fiberwood scarcity by developing manufacturing processes with minimal water and energy usage. As part of this initiative, VTT is building a new open-access pilot line for air-laid technology.
