THERE ARE ALREADY tens of composite materials made of different wood-based fibres and oil-based plastic on the markets.However,VTT is developing fully bio-based composite materials.Products made of this material can be recycled,composted or burnt to generate energy at the end of their life cycle without any fossil carbon emissions.”Our aim is to produce eco-friendly,sustainable materials of renewable raw materials which will not add to the microplastics crisis even if they acci-dently end up in nature,since microbes can decompose them gradually into carbon dioxide and water,”says Senior Researcher Fellow Kirsi Immonen from VTT.
