Bioeconomy 2.0: Unseen bio-based materials / Designs for a Cooler Planet

Wood-derived lignocellulose is an abundant renewable raw material and the backbone of the Finnish economy. However, as our natural resources are declining, we must use them more wisely, creating more value from less raw material.

Bioeconomy 2.0 demonstrates how this challenge can become an opportunity in the right hands and through collaboration. These five novel, high-value applications of woody biomass aim to disrupt the status quo in materials, textiles and health technology, harnessing natural properties of lignocellulose to develop materials we have never seen before.
