LKCOM develops platform for international BIOMAT project.

The BIOMAT project, which aims to develop bio-based and sustainable polyurethane (PUR) foams for four industrial sectors, now has a platform created by LKCOM.

BIOMAT emerges as a response to a more sustainable Europe. Aimed at the Construction, Automotive, Furniture and Upholstery sectors, its goal is to share innovative technologies and services with SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) for the production of sustainable polyurethane foams.

Until 31 March, the Project has an application process underway that will allow SMEs to access the services developed under Biomat, free of charge. Interested entities can apply through the BIOMAT Platform – www.clients.biomat-testbed.eu, developed by LKCOM.

The BIOMAT project uses materials with a low carbon footprint and makes processes economically efficient, taking into account the guidelines of the circular economy. In this way, it will be the key to the European bioeconomy.

LKCOM is one of 26 members, from eight countries, of the European-Israeli BIOMAT consortium which, over four years, will create a system for testing new technologies based on nanotechnology-scale solutions.
