Biosociety - a research and innovation programme for a circular bioeconomy

Biosociety is a research and innovation programme focused on the circular bioeconomy, aimed at strengthening competitiveness, resource efficiency and resilience in Sweden’s green and blue industries. The programme is funded by Formas together with the Swedish Forest Industries Federation, the Swedish Food Federation, the Federation of Swedish Farmers (LRF), IKEM and Swedish textile and fashion companies (TEKO), as well as participating actors.

Featured projects

Ongoing

Automated deep forming process for biobased and sustainable 3D-products

The project further develops deep forming of fiber – a Swedish technology that has already resulted in the world’s first commercial fiber-based screw caps. The next step is to make the technology even more competitive and broaden its use to more products where plastics dominate today.

Sustainable Fungal Biorefineries: Conversion of Industrial Side-Streams into Proteins and Industrially Relevant Biopolymers

The project addresses the need for sustainable and resource-efficient alternatives to today’s protein and biopolymer production. By using side streams from the forest industry and a fungus-based fermentation process, the project creates conditions to convert low-value industrial by-products into high-value products with reduced environmental impact.
