Introducing the BIOPOLY Cluster | 06.11.2025

November 3, 2025

Accelerating Innovation in Bio-based Polymers

We announce the launch of the BIOPOLY Cluster, the new collaboration between three pioneering CBE-JU-funded projects — POLYMEER, BIOPYRANIA, and POLYMERS-5B — all dedicated to advancing innovation in sustainable, bio-based polymers.

To mark this milestone, the BIOPOLY Cluster will host its official launch webinar,
“Introducing the BIOPOLY Cluster: Accelerating Innovation in Bio-based Polymers”,
on 6 November 2025, from 11:00 to 12:30 CET (online).

During the webinar, representatives from the three projects will present their approaches to developing high-performance, renewable polymer solutions from diverse feedstocks such as brewers’ spent grain, agri-food residues, and woody biomass. The event will also feature a panel discussion on “Bio-based Polymers in a Circular Future”, exploring opportunities and challenges for scaling up innovation in the bioeconomy.

🎤 The speakers:

– Assunta Marrocchi, coordinator of the POLYMEER project
– Luís Joaquim Pina da Fonseca, coordinator of the POLYMER-5B project
– Katrien Bernaerts, coordinator of the BYOPIRANIA project

The session will open with a welcome address by Simone Maccaferri (POLYMERS-5B project) and Bahar Koyuncu (CBE JU).

POLYMERS-5B develops Heat-Recyclable Resins from Pulp Mill Byproducts

September 10, 2026

Every year, millions of tons of wood-based biomass go underutilized across Europe. The POLYMERS-5B project is working to change that — transforming an overlooked wood-processing byproduct into high-performance, recyclable materials. In a new video, Miķelis Kirpļuks, Senior Researcher at the Latvian State Institute of Wood Chemistry, walks through the project’s approach and its most promising results […]
