This is a knowledge-based community for the dissemination and communication of research results generated in the SUSBIND project (Grant agreement No. 792063) funded under the Horizon 2020 / BBI-JU framework program for research and innovation in the EU.

The SUSBIND consortium develops, produces and tests bio-based binders as an alternative to formaldehyde binders currently used for wood-based panel boards in furniture mass products. The goal of the project is to substitute fossil-based chemicals with those from renewable resources. Surplus feedstock sourced from existing European biorefineries will be used for the production of binders and intermediates. SUSBIND aims at producing and validating these bio-based binders with leading wood board manufacturers for two product types: P2 particle board and medium density fibreboard.

The SUSBIND project covers the full value chain from feedstocks through to pilot production and validation by relevant research, industry and SME partners. Driven by the mass consumption needs, it includes leading furniture manufacturers and retailers.
