Biocomposites containing peat fibre for making new kinds of biodegradable products

Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - 09:00 in Physics & Chemistry

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed methods and product innovations for processing the most rapidly renewable surface layer of peat instead of using it for energy production. The goal is to develop bio-based composite materials containing peat fibre, for example for the manufacture of consumer products and construction materials, at the same time reducing the use of oil-based raw materials in production.
