Workshop BIONANOPOLYS project
Date: 29/03/2022, 10:00 – 12:15
A network of pilot plants to bring bionanomaterials closer to industry in circular economy Europe: BIONANOPOLYS Project.
The biotechnology sector is a key player in the challenges related to the circular economy posed by the European Union in the Green Deal (climate protection, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and saving fossil resources), since through the transformation of bio-based nanomaterials new materials can be created to develop products with improved mechanical, thermal and rheological properties, as well as optical, barrier and active properties.
These new bionanomaterials will directly benefit sectors such as packaging, cosmetics, medicine, foams, coatings, 3D printing, textiles, nonwovens, and cellulose paper.
The European BIONANOPOLYS project offers a network of 14 pilot plants and complementary services – forming an OITB (Open Innovation Test Bed) – to accelerate the market introduction of these bio-based materials with high added-value nanoparticles through a Single-Entry Point (SEP).
To analyse how companies can benefit from the development of these materials and the implementation of the other services of the project, ITENE, coordinator of BIONANOPOLYS, is organising this workshop on 29 March.
Goals:
- To explain the technological challenges that need to be addressed to make the introduction of bio-based nanomaterials on the market.
- To show the developments and services to be implemented by the OITB of the BIONANOPOLYS project through the implementation of experiments with new materials, modelling and simulation services and other consultancy services such as innovation management, compliance with regulations and standards, and technology transfer.
- To present scenarios and business opportunities in the use of bio-based nanomaterials for various sectors (packaging, cosmetics, medicine, foam, coatings, 3D printing, textiles and nonwovens, and cellulose paper).
- To gather the views of stakeholders (companies, universities, research centres and other actors) on the use and applications of bionanomaterials.
- To present the possibilities for companies to cooperate with OITB to test the pilot plants and services offered, with funding from the BIONANOPOLYS project.
To:
- Companies producing, supplying, or using biomass, bionanocomposites or bionanomaterials.
- Companies dedicated to the packaging, consumer goods, automotive, textile, medical, foaming, coating, 3D printing and cellulose paper sectors.
- Experts from universities and specialised research centres who want to develop bio-based materials, or who want to validate the materials they have developed internally.
