- Dakota BurlDakoto Burl is a bio-based decorative composite material, made from an abundant agricultural resource. It looks like traditional burled woods. The natural burled texture and pattern along with its panel properties allow for a variety of applications.
- Environ BiocompositeEnviron biocomposite is a solid board product that utilizes a bio-based technology and is made from recycled paper-products and rapidly renewable agricultural resources. This material offers an appearance with the warmth and feel of an exotic hardwood.
- BiocompositesBiocomposite is a collective term to refer to fibre-reinforced materials with a natural origin. Basically any material that consists of fibres and a binding component (i.e. resin) can be called a composite. If both the fibres and the resin are extracted from biomass, it classifies as a biocomposite. Preferably residual waste is used to obtain raw materials. Sample mycelium executed by Joppe Weeber, student AKV|St. Not for publication.
- Lina: the world’s first biocomposite car made from flaxWhen you think about cars, the first word to come to mind is probably not sustainability. While more and more cars are becoming electric,…

- Micromoulded biocompositesDesigner Bas Froon developed a micromoulding machine that makes it possible to locally change material qualities from a soft material into a strong and lightweight plastic. By doing this, he can keep the tactile qualities of the raw material, while giving it more strength to be used in furniture, fashion and textile applications. The material consists of natural fibres or recycled textiles and biobased plastic like PLA.
