When European projects join forces, only good things can happen! NewWave,AMBIANCE, BIO-UPTAKE, GREEN-LOOP, VITAL and Waste2BioComp have united under the common aim of making sustainable

The NewWave project is progressing smoothly and has reached its 18th month of activities. Last week, project partners gathered for a general update to review

After one year of life, the first public deliverables of NewWave are available. These documents provide some initial insights on specific project activities that wil

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.

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.

Lignin is an organic polymer that, together with cellulose and hemicellulose, is the main component of plants and trees. Essentially, it’s the component giving wood resistance and waterproofness.
