Better Biobased Building Blocks (B4)

“Partners in the B4 project (Better Biobased Building Blocks) will develop sustainable chemical building blocks. The construction industry can then apply these in concrete products, such as coatings, resins, acrylics and composites. The project involves the entire value chain; from raw material supplier to knowledge institute and from chemical company to building materials producer. By replacing fossil raw materials with renewable raw materials, this project contributes to the transition to a sustainable, future-proof and climate-neutral economy. To strengthen this effect, B4 will share knowledge with current staff in the chemical sector, but also with the next generation of employees. B4 introduces them to the necessary chemical skills to achieve this transition to a bio-based economy. In addition, B4 will also share knowledge with users of sustainable production technologies, raw materials, installations, application possibilities of the various bio-based building blocks and logistics processes that are important for the production of the new sustainable building blocks. For example, B4 contributes to ‘lifelong learning’, making education in the region fit for the future.”
