Bio-based Materials Community
Taking advantage of the differentiating properties of bio-based materials
Construction, packaging, furniture, sports and leisure, transport: the applications of bio-based materials are numerous, and they can become sustainable solutions. B4C’s Bio-based Materials community aims to accelerate these transitions.
Plant fractions for insulation in the building industry, biobased polymers for performance, alternatives to cotton in the textile industry, lighter composite parts thanks to plant fibres… Bio-based materials offer a more sustainable and responsible future.
The community is working in particular on five priority areas:
- Increasing the performance of bio-based materials,
- Optimising production costs,
- Adapting the use of bio-based materials,
- Anticipating their end of life,
- Improving communication on solutions and the know-how of actors.

Biobased composites 2022 booklet
Produced by B4C since 2014, the booklet provides an overview of the integration of biobased components in materials, reminding us of certain definitions, specifying contextual elements and presenting the expert players of the Bioeconomy For Change network along the value chain.
