PT20-Spawnfoam/SPAWN

Biomaterials from organic and agroforestry residues and mycelium

Description

converting agrifood and forestry biomass residues into biocomposites

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

changing the paradigm of production and consumption of fossil-based composites and materials, such as plastics, by providing an innovative and competitive alternative of organic and biodegradable origin

Objective

To develop a process to produce an innovative biocomposite material made of fungi, organic additives and biomass from the surrounding agroindustry and forestry
