3. What do we create?<br />
3.4.3 Bio(Based) raw materials<br />
Our soil is deteriorating and fossil fuels and energy sources will be exhausted in<br />
the short term. We are all responsible for this happening, but together, we can<br />
also achieve the turnaround. A new approach is necessary, because we have<br />
the responsibility to leave the next generation with a vibrant planet. In order<br />
to increase our value in this field, we will heavily invest in the production and<br />
delivery of BioBased products in the coming years.<br />
The BioBased prototypes are produced on the basis of (bio)polymer and<br />
(agricultural) residual flows such as (roadside) grass, natural grass, natural<br />
fibres, aquatic plants, bell pepper/tomato stems, and sugar beet pulp that are<br />
normally composted.<br />
Biomass as a Bio(Based) raw material is a very environmentally friendly<br />
choice: renewable and virtually CO 2 neutral. Bio(Based) raw materials are<br />
available as wood and grass fibres (optionally in pallet form), but also as A-<br />
and B-wood in various fractions. The collected wood can be used, with or<br />
without intermediate processing, as a Bio(Based) raw material in, for instance,<br />
the chipboard industry. This way, we give biomass a second life, so that the<br />
industry has to cut less trees. This raw material is sufficiently available yearround!<br />
The BioBased prototypes made of grass fibres which we produce and market with PaperWise and Millvision are:<br />
• Garden bench<br />
• Grid/fencing<br />
• Copying and letter paper<br />
