Basically any material that consists of fibres and a binding component (i.e. resin) can be called a composite. If both the fibres and the resin are extracted from biomass, it classifies as a biocomposite. Preferably residual waste is used to obtain raw materials.<\/p>\n<p>One of the interesting biocomposites, object of research at the CoEBBE, is called Nabasco. This is a composite that consists of a resin, a fibre and a filler. The ingredients can vary depending on the desired properties and esthetics. One of the possibilities is to use recycled toilet paper as cellulose fibres and chalk as a filler. Both materials can be obtained from wastewater treatment facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting group of biocomposites are the mycelium composites. These materials consist of fibres that are held together by fungus hyphae. Basically the resin is replaced by a living organism. Mycelium composites have interesting thermal and acoustic insulation properties as well as flame retardant potential.<\/p>\n<p>This material will be exhibited during <a href=\"https:\/\/rotterdam.materialdistrict.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MaterialDistrict Rotterdam 2020<\/a>, 23-25 June in Rotterdam Ahoy, the Netherlands!
