Western North Brabant becomes hotspot for biobased building blocks for the construction industry
Over the next 3 years, 11 partners in West-North Brabant, led by TNO, will be working together to make green building blocks with local vegetable waste streams. From grass to glue, from sugar beet pulp to paint or from wood chips to insulation foam are examples of what the B4 project – Better Biobased Building Blocks - envisions. These building blocks not only make products for the construction industry more sustainable, but also provide scratch resistance, flame retardancy or UV resistance. Besides these technological innovations, the partners in this B4 project also share knowledge with students, companies and governments to prepare them for and involve them in this raw material transition. This will transform Western North Brabant into a hotspot for biobased building blocks for the construction industry.

Movie: First Biobased Industrial Coating Demonstrated in the Bright Coatings Project
An important milestone has been achieved: the successful demonstration of bio MPA in industrial coatings. Biorizon spin-off company Relement teamed up with Worlée Chemie and Baril Coatings to successfully demonstrate this game-changing industrial coating: a first of a kind, high performance, waterborne alkyd coating; incorporating Relement's ingredient bio MPA to replace the fossil-based ingredient phthalic anhydride.
