Webinar – Innovative biomaterials and bio-based products from agricultural biomass in marginal land

When: 25 June 2026

Time: 15.30 – 16.30 CET

How can we transform biomass from underutilized agricultural land in the EU into valuable resources for the growing bio-based economy? The Horizon Europe MIDAS project invites you to this free webinar showcasing concrete, circular solutions to valorize biomass grown on marginal lands for high-performance bio-based industrial applications.

This webinar dives directly into our latest preliminary results, focusing on major advancements in sustainable manufacturing of biomaterials from agricultural biomass, including:

Advanced bio-based medium density fibreboards (MDF) and particleboards from woody biomass, alternative fibers and renewable binders.

Next-Generation bio-based adhesives from plant proteins as sustainable alternatives to  phenol in phenol-formaldehyde resins and bio-based coatings for wood-based panels.

Join our project partners and industry experts as they share practical insights, performance data, and the scaling potential for these sustainable bio-materials.
