The BIONEER project is leading the charge towards a greener chemical industry by transforming the platform chemicals sector with innovative, sustainable biobased solutions. With most platform chemicals still fossil-based and existing alternatives often competing with food resources, BIONEER is scaling up game-changing, carbohydrate-derived building blocks from sustainably sourced biomass. These advanced biobased chemicals—designed for industries like coatings and personal care—promise to replace toxic, fossil-based materials while boosting performance. Built on circular economy principles and a zero-waste approach, BIONEER sets the stage for a more sustainable future in chemicals, targeting initial applications in furniture coatings and personal care, with exciting potential in packaging.
