HORIZON-JU-CBE-2024-IAFlag-03: Bio-based value chains for valorisation of sustainable natural fibre feedstock

• Type of project: Innovation Action Flagship (IA Flag)
• Call deadline: 18 September 2024

ABOUT US

Łukasiewicz Research Network - Institute of Heavy Organic Synthesis "Blachownia" is an R&D center with over 70
years of experience in chemistry and material science.
Our research is dedicated to advance Circular Economy principles through the development of innovative
processing technologies for renewable raw materials.
We are committed to fostering close collaboration with industry partners, engaging in R&D consortia and offering
advisory services.
Our highly skilled team utilizes cutting-edge equipment to facilitate the production and analysis low-scale
chemicals and environmentally-friendly products from sustainable resources.
We are eager to contribute to proposals and collaborate on projects related to the chemical processing of
renewable materials, with a focus on creating valuable bio-derived products including polymer additives,
lubricants, coating materials, bio-fuels, and more.

OUR IDEA

We propose cooperation in the synthesis and utilization of novel functionalized biocomponents based
on lignocellulosic raw biomass (such as waste lignocellulosic biomass, fibers etc.),which can be employed
in various composite material technologies as bio-derived additives. The advantage of these new biocomponents
lies in their excellent biodegradability and improved compatibility with other components such as polymer
matrices. These novel biomass-derived biocomponents can be regarded as valuable elements of bio-based value
chains in lignocellulosic biomass processing leading from biomass to new biomaterials.
We offer our expertise in synthesizing new functional biomaterials derived from lignocellulosic biomass, as well as
from chitosan, starch and other renewable raw materials. Specifically, we propose a partnership in developing
methods for processing biomass into multifunctional additives tailored to various functional biomaterials.
We are currently seeking project partners or forming a consortium to participate in this Call. If you are interested
in collaborating with us on this initiative, please reach out to discuss potential partnership opportunities.
