Bio-Based Innovation
We are proudly participating in BBI project as partners for Neocel developments.
The BBI is dedicated to realising the European bioeconomy potential, turning biological residues and wastes into greener everyday products through innovative technologies and biorefineries, which are at the heart of the bioeconomy.
The Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking is a new €3.7 billion Public-Private Partnership between the EU and the Bio-based Industries Consortium. Operating under Horizon 2020, it is driven by the Vision and Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda (SIRA) developed by the industry.
Innovative Fabric Finishes
The NeoCel project will develop innovative and techno-economically feasible processes for producing high quality textile fibres from reactive high cellulose pulps. It will enhance the use of cellulose from sustainable sources, with a special focus on textiles. As the world’s population increases, it needs more textiles.
A source with great potential for long term increase in production volumes are man-made cellulosic fibres. NeoCel will reduce the environmental impact and occupational health issues relating to man-made cellulose fibre production and promote sustainably produced, good quality man-made cellulosic fibres for the textile and fashion industries.
