Our research focuses on the development, processing and industrial use of bioplastics and bio composites

Areas of expertise: material development, material analysis, process engineering, circular economy (recycling and marine degradability of biomaterials, usage of residual materials, design for recycling), sustainability analysis of biomaterials, knowledge transfer
