Thermolympic Contributes Its Expertise in Processing Biomaterials within WOOD4PLASTIC
In WOOD4PLASTIC, we are working to demonstrate how wood-derived biomaterials can be integrated into existing industrial processes, helping move them from research environments to real industrial applications.
Advancing PLA–lignin materials from laboratory research to industrial application
One of the core objectives of the WOOD4PLASTIC project is to bridge the gap between scientific research and industrial deployment of biobased materials. Achieving this requires close collaboration between technology centers and industrial partners.
The importance of the experimentation
En Wood4Plastic, we believe that innovation grows through persistence, by testing, refining, and exploring new pathways until the right solution emerges. Research is not only a necessary step in the journey; it is also one of the most rewarding parts of the process.
We meet with the ZEBRA LIFE project to explore synergies in sustainable innovation
As a European project focused on developing new circular solutions from renewable resources, we continue to strengthen our network of alliances within the European R&D landscape. Earlier this month, we held a meeting with the team of the ZEBRA LIFE project.
We lead sustainable innovation
Thermolympic is developing and optimizing bio-based polymers that meet the technical requirements for final product applications. As an end user of these materials, the company validates their performance, ensuring that new compounds deliver high standards in mechanical properties, moisture resistance, recyclability, and overall functionality.
From wood waste to wonder plastics
Fibenol’s research focuses on turning biomass leftovers into second-generation sugars and natural lignin additives, which act as building blocks for developing sustainable plastics with real market uses.
Sustainable innovation in packaging
At Wood4Plastic, we’re proud to collaborate with partners like CCM, a company dedicated to transforming the future of food packaging. As producers and distributors, CCM guarantee highly customized, top-quality products that comply with national and international standards, thanks to certifications from globally recognized entities.
All partners reunited together again in Italy
The WOOD4PLASTIC consortium recently convened at Gruppo CCM in Modena, Italy, marking a significant milestone in our mission to develop sustainable, wood-based alternatives to conventional plastics. This meeting provided a platform to assess progress, address challenges, and refine strategic pathways for the next phase of the project.
Transforming Agroforestry Residues into Sustainable Bioplastics
A promising new initiative, WOOD4PLASTIC, has been launched to address the need for sustainable alternatives in the bioplastics industry. The 36-month initiative, funded under the LIFE Programme with a budget nearing €3 million, will focus on using agroforestry residues to develop innovative, cost-effective bioplastics.
