Replacing fossil fuel-based plastic products

The goal of FoamFiber is to use nanocellulose-cellulose composites to replace fossil fuel-based plastic products, and contribute to solve the society’s climate challenges. The project will specifically focus on the development of fiber-based, foam materials with low density and high porosity, which in addition have good water barrier properties. Production of prototypes as well as recycling of the material will also be a focus area in the project.
