Biobased Materials

A response to sustainable development challenges by developing materials derived from local biomass

3BCAR: an asset for biobased materials

Context & stakes

The nature of these materials is diverse: wood, hemp, straw, cellulose, recycled textiles, cereal husks, miscanthus, cork, flax, chaff, meadow grass, mushrooms with mycomaterials, etc. They can be found in various sectors such as construction, decoration, packaging, furniture, and clothing.

These bio-based materials offer sustainable solutions to reduce our environmental impact, achieving reductions of up to 60% for certain materials.
