R&D - Project

Biocoma Ongoing

Systemic bio-based coating and paint solutions for building materials in exterior applications

The BIOCOMA project aims to develop bio-based, non-toxic paints for external applications in the construction sector, as an alternative to current fossil-based formulations.

PlastFlow Ongoing

PFAS-free additives for use as processing aids and to enhance tribological properties

PlastFlow develops plastic formulations using existing and newly developed additives to replace PFAS, thereby improving tribological properties and processing aids.

MycoStruct rgrgrgrgrg Ongoing

Large-scale development of a mycelium-derived protein structure.

PaperForm Ongoing

Optimized paper and tools solutions for (Vertical) Form Fill and Seal packaging process

Optimization of tools and properties of fibrous materials, including the development of bio-based coatings, to improve their compatibility with VFFS processes.

FUNBIOMAT Ongoing

Highly dispersible functionalized biobased fibers for advanced biopolyester materials

Development of innovative methods to optimize the distribution of bio-based additives made of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) in biopolyesters.

WAL’PROT Ongoing

Deployment of the plant-based and alternative protein sector in Wallonia.

WAL'PROT aims to valorize protein sources from crops, co-products, discarded plants, insects, and microalgae, via a cascading and multi-sectoral approach.

BIORELEACIDE Ongoing

Bio-based capsules for the controlled release of pesticides.

The main objective of the BIORELEACIDE project is the development of bio-based formulations with different controlled release rates of phytosanitary agents.

HALOTEX Ongoing

To be completed

Halophyte biorefinery for sustainable production of textiles, composites, and biochemicals.

UP PLASTICS Ongoing

Eco-design of circular plastic materials in the construction sector.

Create circular materials in the construction sector by valorizing waste from other industrial processes or by using renewable materials.

BIOFLOC Ongoing

Development of a bioflocculant production process

The BIOFLOC project aims to develop and validate a production procedure for a bioflocculant consisting of a bacterial consortium, produced under non-sterile conditions on a medium formulated from waste from the industry
