Biobuild project to be funded by the European Commission for development of biocomposite facades

13 partners from seven European countries worked in collaboration on a project called as Biobuild. The research resulted in investigation of utilization of biocomposite materials for reduction of embodied energy up to 50 percent for development of components such as ceiling, cladding, façade panels etc. Also, the collaborative members took care not to allow increment in cost. This is how replacement of steel, aluminium, bricks and concrete can be done for building structures by using sustainable and low carbon construction materials.

The project part receives fund by the European Commission. The objective of the project is investigation of biocomposite materials for decreasing the embodied energy without increment in cost. Façade has been described by the project as the first self supporting biocomposite façade panel of the world which is being used in construction. The project is funded under the seventh framework programme by the European Community.

Building kits for systems, suspended ceilings and internal partition walls are also designed under this project work. The research work is applicable mainly for commercial office buildings for which façade panel comprised up of glazing unit are designed. The façade is composed of two biocomposite outer shells with an insulated central layer.

Annual Bio-plastics conference 2014 to open new doors of success for development of bio-based plastics

The 9th European Bio-plastics Conference is going to be held in Brussels in 2014. The most important thing to know about this conference is that more than 30 speakers will give their demonstration on aspects of their year plan about driving a resource efficient Europe. All these aspects will be based upon the bio-plastic market in the country. In this entire scenario, the main question to come up is that which of the innovative renewable feedstock is beneficial for the market. To find answer of this question, various perspectives from different companies and research centers are coming up to discover new feedstock or use 2nd or 3rd generation feedstock.

In European Union, the outline of legislative terms and laws for bio-plastics will be explained by Virginia Janssen of EUROPEAN and Helmut Maurer of the European Commission. On the other hand, Kristy-Barbara Lange of the European Bio-plastics will represent the updated data and the latest summary of bio-plastics development in the market. Next in the series is bio-based labeling that will cover various reasons to produce bio-plastics on global level has been all set in a grand way to make the event successful. This ceremony will give rise to new opportunities to the newly developing bio-plastics production groups.
