Same material. Different climate. Different results. 🌍
How much energy could BIOBUILD’s bio-based wallboards save across Europe? Our first energy simulations show heating and cooling energy savings 👇
Energy use during a building’s operation is only one part of a material’s environmental performance. Life Cycle Assessment helps us look at the full picture, from production to use and beyond.

🌱 How sustainable are bio-based building materials?
Our latest blog looks at what the first LCA results are telling us:
🌍 Different formulations lead to different environmental profiles
🔄 Higher bioPCM content can mean higher production impacts
⚡ But it can also bring greater energy-saving potential during use
🧩 Looking at the full life cycle helps reveal these trade-offs
The takeaway? Bio-based is only part of the story.

📢 New publication from our partners @UAntwerpen
"Beyond fossil binders in wood-based products: does a shift towards biobased alternatives yield a more sustainable solution?"
A new study explores the environmental potential of three biobased wallboards using epoxidized linseed oil, lignosulfonates and mycelium composites.
🌱 The study finds that:
• Biobased wallboards can achieve lower global warming potential and acidification than medium-density fibreboard.
• Lignosulfonate and mycelium panels can already compete with or outperform conventional alternatives across several impact categories.
• More circular systems showed greater potential for lower environmental impacts.
• At the same time, the results highlight the need to consider indirect environmental effects and industrial-scale efficiencies.

How can local and regional authorities help make energy-efficient behaviour the norm?
The Energy Behaviour Forum brings local and regional authorities together to exchange experiences, share good practices and build capacity around energy efficiency.
The Forum provides practical tools, training and knowledge to support authorities in developing short-, medium- and long-term strategies that encourage more energy-efficient behaviour.
For projects like BIOBUILD, this matters. Reducing energy demand in buildings is not only about developing better materials and technologies, it is also about how buildings are designed, used and managed.
By connecting innovation, policy and behavioural change, we can help accelerate the transition towards more energy-efficient and sustainable buildings. 🏠🌱

🌱 New article! The hidden ingredient shaping the future of sustainable wood panels
Wood panels play a key role in furniture, flooring and construction but the adhesives that hold them together are often overlooked when we think about sustainability.
Featured in Enlit World, our latest article explores how SUSBOARD is advancing bio-based adhesive technologies that combine renewable raw materials with the performance requirements of the wood panel industry.
By rethinking the chemistry behind wood panels, SUSBOARD is contributing to:
🌿 reduced dependence on fossil resources
🏠 healthier indoor environments
♻️ more sustainable and circular wood-based products

We are also excited to be participating in Enlit Europe this November and look forward to sharing more about SUSBOARD’s work and connecting with the sustainability community. See you there! 👋
🏗️ New article out now: Exploring the link between gender and sustainable building design
Our latest BIOBUILD article explores why gender considerations are part of building better, more inclusive solutions.
Key takeaways:
🫂 Sustainable construction is not only about carbon and energy, it is also about the people who design, build and use our spaces.
🍀 Lighter, high-performance bio-based materials can help make construction practices more accessible.
🏡 Understanding different user experiences can support more comfortable and adaptable indoor environments.
💡 Inclusive innovation leads to solutions that work better for everyone.
At BIOBUILD, we are developing bio-based building materials with thermal energy storage, combining environmental performance with a people-centred approach.

🌱 What if building materials could help save energy?
Featured on #ENLIT, our latest article explores how BIOBUILD is developing bio-based materials with thermal energy storage capabilities, helping buildings regulate temperature while reducing reliance on conventional heating and cooling systems.
By combining bioPCMs, wood-based materials and renewable binders, BIOBUILD is paving the way for more circular, low-carbon and energy-efficient buildings.
🏠 With demo houses in Sweden and Spain, the project is moving from innovation to real-world demonstration.

Happy #BioproductDay! 🌱 From coffee capsules to car parts, fertilisers, cosmetics & cleaners, #biobased products are becoming part of everyday life. CBE JU-funded projects are advancing 97 circular bio-based products, building on 141 delivered by BBI JU: cbe.europa.eu/news/world-bio…
🏗️ Scaling up bio-based solutions is key to decarbonising the construction sector.
The @EU_Commission has announced new initiatives to strengthen Europe's #bioeconomy, supporting the transition from research to market through greater collaboration, investment, and innovation.@SCALE_UP_HEU
For projects like ours, this is an encouraging step forward. By developing bio-based, circular, and energy-efficient building materials, we contribute to the shared ambition of creating a more sustainable and resilient built environment.
As Europe continues to invest in the bioeconomy, collaboration between researchers, industry, and policymakers will be essential to turning innovation into real-world impact.

Did you know? 🇪🇺
The EU's evolving chemicals and bioeconomy policy is actively shaping how adhesives like the one we're developing reach the market.
Regulation for SUSBOARD is part of the design process from the beginning of the project, through our Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approach.
Our partner Institut für Holztechnologie Dresden gemeinnützige GmbH (IHD) is responsible for steps 1–3 of the SSbD assessment including hazard evaluation and the analysis of health and environmental impacts during production and use of the wood-based materials.

🌱 New Conference presentation available!
At the Paper Bioeconomy conference in Graz, project partner @BOKUvienna presented some great BIOBUILD progress: Sebastian Mayr showed how an enzyme called laccase transforms lignosulfonates into a bio-based binder for wood particle boards — tested against EN 312, scaled to pilot production, and now demonstrated in demo houses in Uppsala, Sweden and Lleida, Spain.
Lab chemistry → construction material → up to 20% less building energy use. That's circular bioeconomy in action.
