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.
Wearable Ongoing
Valorization of agricultural biomasses for bio-based and sustainable lubricant additives
The CORNET WearABLE project develops bio-based alternatives to anti-wear additives used in engine lubricants.
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.
NITRIFREE Ongoing
New strategies for the sustainable stabilization of nitrite-free charcuterie products
NitriFree aims to develop nitrite-free meat products by combining natural antimicrobial ingredients extracted from plants and food co-products with high-pressure hydrostatic technology.
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.
FOODWAL Ongoing
Stimulating Food Innovation in Wallonia
Peptiboost & Proteboost develop sustainable and industrializable approaches to produce and characterize bioactive peptides and proteins, improving the quality of food products.
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.
SLUDGE2BBI Ongoing
Production of PHAs for bio-based chemistry from sewage sludge and organic materials
Development of PHA extraction technologies from sewage sludge to produce biodegradable, bio-based building blocks for green chemistry.
HEMICOAT Ongoing
Conversion of Hemicelluloses into Coatings
Valorization of hemicelluloses from lignocellulosic biomass through extraction and fermentation for the production of bio-based compounds used in the manufacture of coatings, adhesives, and surfactants.
