Potential of local renewable sourcesWood biomass, green residuals, annual plants, exotic invasive plant species and biomass waste are a rich source of raw materials - a chance to significantly reduce imports and use of fossil-based entities. -
Potential of local knowledge and skillsHand in hand, our own researches and companies develop procedures for extraction of biomass components and its utilisation in marketable, environmentally friendly and biodegradable materials and products. -
Potential of bio-based products marketJust by trying to replace existing fossil-based products or their components with bio-based ones, we are significantly enhancing our option set of marketable solutions with high added value. And that’s just a start. -
Potential of new economic and social relationsComprehensive exploitation of locally available resources to create environmentally friendly goods, which can later on be recycled, re-used or discarded in a nature friendly manner, connects us all. Including you.
Rather than burning most of biomass, various useful primary and secondary raw materials can be obtained from it by extraction, decomposition and reprocessing.

Read moreBy forming local socio-economic circles, we are optimising rotation of production means, thus empowering ourselves and the environment.
Read moreBy redesigning system of values, thinking and acting, changes can occur. From working to co-working, from use to re-use, from habitation to co-habitation.
Read moreWHY THE PROGRAMME »POTENTIAL OF BIOMASS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED MATERIALS AND BIO-BASED PRODUCTS«?
We are determined to acquire a comprehensive insight into »discarded potential of biomass«, to research all aspects and benefits of cascading utilisation of this locally available, natural and renewable resource, left unexploited to this day. Partners, allied through research-development-production form of circular economy, plan to develop and optimise new, sustainable processes and technologies to help us dig the way through to useful biomass components. Those can prove beneficial in various production sectors – from chemical, textile, paper, wood processing and automotive industries, construction, energy and engineering – integrated as environmentally acceptable materials and products, highly recyclable and re-usable. That way we are building new value chains, we are allowing ourselves to step firmly onto green products market and we are strengthening competitiveness of Slovenian economy, firming social partnerships and, at the same time, burden environment significantly less.
