Final event project - Puur Natuur: 100% Biobased (BB100)
The main goal of the BB100 project is the development of a process chain towards fully bio-based man-made fibre materials. This does not only include the mere processing of biopolymers, but also commonly used additive materials like plasticizers, flame-retardants, colorants and nucleation agents. Fully bio-based yarns and textile demonstrators will be developed. Over nearly four years, partners from education and industry investigated how textile textile producers could switch to sustainable and bio-based.
Final event project Pure Nature: 100% Biobased (BB100)
The results of the BB100 project will be shown, what challenges were encountered and what future steps should be taken. Also will be presented a knowledge clip and the project partners will show demonstrators incorporating project results for the first time!
- Date and timing: 24 March 2022, start at 10 AM – end around 2PM.
