Biobased materials for construction - let’s build 30/03/2022 at 16:10

The construction and building material’s sector is responsible for around 40% of the world’s annual CO2 emissions breaking down into 30% being attributable to operational emissions and 10% to materials and construction processes. But there is reason to feel positive. Within that 10%, biobased can play a significant role in emission reductions by substitution with low carbon materials but can also go one-step further by providing a sink to sequester carbon and the possibility for cascading reuse at the end of a building’s lifecycle. We will gain insights in this session into the arrival of some market firsts, such as: - versatile, high-performance biobased insulation materials - bioconcrete with biochar additives to sequester carbon - door and window frames with top class energy-savings employing a biobased foam as single structural and functional material, thus acting as a thermal, acoustic and moisture barrier - the first high-performance, healthy plant-based resin available on a large scale that is the critical ingredient in manufacture of the first eco-responsible MDF panel - hemp for high-performance insulation materials …. and all at the point of industrialised scale-up or, already in the process of.
