European Union established BIO-QED project to drive production of chemicals based on renewable resources
As part of its Seventh Framework Programme, the European Union is financing a new project called BIO-QED aimed at opening new industrial routes for the production of key chemicals from renewable resources. Launched on 1 January 2014 for an initial period of four years, the project brings together 10 partners from six different European countries.

Part of the EU’s Bioeconomy Strategy (see Plasteurope.com of 21.02.2012), the project plans to guide the continent’s economic system towards a broader and more sustainable use of resources.

The founding companies of BIO-QED are Novamont (Novara / Italy; www.novamont.com), Fraunhofer Institut (Munich / Germany; www.fraunhofer.de/en), Nova Institut (Hürth / Germany; www.nova-institut.de), Cargill (Minneapolis, Minnesota / USA; www.cargill.com), Lubrizol (Wickliffe, Ohio / USA; www.lubrizol.com), Rina (Genova / Italy; www.rina.it), TNO (Delft / The Netherlands; www.tno.nl), Miplast (Rijeka / Croatia; www.mi-plast.eu), Patentopolis (Delft / The Netherlands; www.patentopolis.com) and Novamont subsidiary Mater-Biotech (Rovigo / Italy).
