Biorizon Brings Innovative Biobased Plasticizers, Ready for Joint Application Development

Biorizon co-initiator TNO is excited to announce the availability of innovative biobased plasticizers for application validation. Developed through the Interreg BIO-CAPPP project, these furfural-derived plasticizers are the result of an agile development approach that combines TNO's expertise in furfural platform technology with the specialized knowledge of Avans/MNEXT and Centexbel in biobased plastics and textile coating.

Bio-Oil and Bio-Methanol Samples Ready for Application Tests

Recent progress in converting biomass waste into valuable resources is advancing sustainable energy and chemical production. Newly prepared bio-oil fractions and bio-methanol samples are now set for application testing, representing important steps toward greener alternatives.

Pioneering Green Chemistry: Bio-BTX Samples Now Available for Testing!

Biorizon co-initatior TNO is happy to announce that Bio-BTX samples, produced through the innovative gasification of biomass wastes such as olive bagasse, waste wood, and waste straw, are now ready for application tests. These samples, developed under the Biorizon-Interreg BIO-CAPPP project, represent a significant leap towards sustainable chemical production.

LEGACY project develops sustainable and safe lignin-based coatings

Biorizon co-initiator VITO has announced the launch of its new LEGACY project. The initiative aims to develop bio-based alternatives to fossil-based bisphenols in epoxy resins, addressing both environmental and health concerns associated with bisphenol A (BPA).
