ATRIUM
Alternatives for an effective Transition to sustainable, Reusable and recyclable construction products by the Innovative production of User and eco-friendly bio-based Materials.
ATRIUM exploits the potential of combining natural fibres (leftovers of European crops, mainly hemp), second and third generation of bioplastics (bio-PE/PA/PU) and mycelium-based biotechnology to produce bio-composites intermediates that can be integrated in construction products (outdoor and indoor floorings, acoustic panels, green wall systems, and building block) to be easily used by professionals and amateurs in building and renovation actuations.
In this way, ATRIUM will not only provide more safety and non-toxic construction solutions but also boost the creation of sustainable bio-based value chains and the integration of efficient biotechnology to develop the circular economy and bioeconomy sectors.
To do this, ATRIUM will develop production pilot lines that integrate efficient and flexible technologies (co-extrusion, foaming, injection moulding, additive manufacturing and bio fabrications) and engage the key actors for the design acceptance and certification of the new products.
Our Role
ENCO is the leader of the Communication, Dissemination & Exploitation activities in WP5. It will work to engage societal actors and stakeholders in the bio-based construction segment and ensure wide visibility of the project’s results and communicate to the general public the objectives and achievements of the project, in addition to other activities for the exploitation of the results.
