Design for Circularity: Lignocellulose-based thermoplastics

FibRe

FibRe is a Vinnova Competence Centre, which is a research consortium between academia, industry and the public sector. The vision is a sustainable society where thermoplastic, fossil-based plastics are replaced by lignocellulose-based materials.

FibRe

The FibRe-partners share an interest in using and developing knowledge in designing lignocellulose-based materials, advanced characterization techniques and processing of modified lignocellulose-based materials.

In order to make the lignocellulose-based starting material thermoplastic and maximise this new material’s potential we need to develop competences focusing on (i) new ways to make molecular modifications, (ii) advanced characterization tools to know the structure before and after modification, and (iii) methods to predict the processing of the developed materials.
