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.
Protewin Ongoing
The Walloon Innovation Ecosystem Dedicated to Alternative Proteins and Protein Transition
Protewin is a collaborative network advancing innovation and European engagement across Wallonia's alternative protein ecosystem.
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.
RECYBER Completed
Advanced circular rubber
Develop an advanced circular rubber material with a reduced carbon footprint and improved end-of-life recyclability through the use of bio-based raw materials.
BIOSUPHYOL Completed
Development of bio-based and PFAS-free coatings
Development of non-toxic, bio-based (>80%) alternatives to PFAS to provide superhydrophobicity and oleophobicity to paper and textile packaging.
EXPLAINED Completed
Extrusion of insect and plant proteins: texturization and impact on digestibility.
Mealworms could be a key food source to prevent famine in a world with a constantly growing population.
