Publication: LignoSwitch – a robust yet reversible bioaromatic superglue for enhanced materials circularity and ecodesign

Many conventional adhesives suffer from a lack of renewability as they are typically derived from fossil-based resources and engineered solely for strong adhesion without easy reversibility. As a result, the absence of reversibility significantly limits the recyclability of valuable substrates that are bonded together, exacerbating waste formation. Therefore, Biorizon co-initiator VITO and Vrije Universiteit Brussel designed a reversible superglue from lignin and vegetable oils promoting a more circular approach to adhesive design, improving sustainability and resource efficiency.

Publication: Hardener-Dependent Properties of Twice Renewable Epoxy Resins Combining Tailored Lignin Fractions and Recycled BPA

Biorizon co-initiator VITO has recently published an article in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, entitled 'Hardener-Dependent Properties of Twice Renewable Epoxy Resins Combining Tailored Lignin Fractions and Recycled BPA'. The results show how biobased and recycled aromatic building blocks could be combined for the design of epoxy resins with superior properties in both sustainable and technical terms.

Fabiola™ biorefinery: the feedstock-flexible factory for biobased building blocks

Biorizon co-initiator TNO has created Fabiola™, a prototype of a next-generation biorefinery capable of processing a variety of biomass residues into cellulose fiber, sugars, furanics, and high-quality lignin. As a TNO Tech Transfer project, Fabiola is now available for scale-up to full demo scale, and the team is in search of more partners to help the entire biomass value chain take full advantage of this remarkable technology to attain their own sustainability, production, or manufacturing objectives.
