(ChemEurope) EU research project on the potential of agroforestry waste as environmentally friendly raw materials completed In future, waste from agriculture and forestry could serve as the basis for environmentally friendly building materials, insulation foams or fuels. Over the past four and a half years, an EU project involving the University of Augsburg has explored the potential of such products. The results also show how much a holistic view is needed when using them in order to avoid undesirable side effects.
Wood, bark, straw and other natural waste are suitable as a basis for new types of materials. In the construction industry, for example, “green” insulation foams, adhesives or concrete additives could be used in the future, while biofuels are one of several components for the transformation into green mobility. The EU project REHAP has examined the economic and ecological potential of such products in recent years. 16 partners from 7 EU countries were involved
