B4: Better Biobased Building Blocks
15-05-2024
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 tree and plant residues. 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 materials 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.

LigninPLUS Project: Expand Pilot Line for Lignin-Based Bio-Aromatics
Within the LigninPLUS project, Biorizon co-initiator VITO aimed to expand the existing pilot infrastructure platform built around LignoValue Pilot (EFRO Flanders) and PILLAR II (Moonshot LSI) for demonstrating innovative lignin processes at an industrially relevant scale to achieve faster innovations in the lignin-to-aromatics value chain.

Dutch public-private sponsored project AROMATICS kicks-off
Fourteen partners join forces in the AROMATICS project, which stands for Aromatic Renewables as an Opportunity for Materials with Improved Circularity and Sustainability. They aim to reduce the dependence of the existing value chain on fossil-derived aromatic chemicals; from the chemical industry up to brand owners. The project partners will accomplish this by developing processes to produce aromatics from renewable feedstock. This 3-year project is performed with MOOI-funding from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs & Climate.
Biorizon is powered by
This project is made possible by a contribution from the European
Regional Development Fund (ERDF) within the framework of OP-Zuid.
