Raw materials for a sustainable circular economy – Launch of the NewWave project
27 July 2022
NewWave project aims at wood-based materials to replace steel and concrete as structural components, modified/engineered wood to replace tropical hardwood or chemically treated wood for outdoor use, and Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF) and plywood for interior usage.
Thermo Chemical Fractionation – TCF
22 July 2022
In NewWave, TCF will produce the raw materials (Lignin, Sugars and Bio-oil) for the four manufacturing lines developed by the project. The feedstock for the TCF plan will be biomass residues, organic waste and end-of-life products.
The importance of Lignin
