Biosociety - a research and innovation programme for a circular bioeconomy

This project tests the feasibility of integrating urban organic waste streams into commercial mushroom production as alternative substrate inputs.

Potato is one of the world’s most important food crops, but develop new varieties through conventional breeding is a slow process that often takes more than 15 years. Modern gene-editing tools such as CRISPR enable faster and more precise modifications of plant genomes. However, introducing multiple genes at once, especially large DNA sequences, remains a technical challenge. This project aims to develop a new method that allows the insertion of multiple genes into potato in a single step

The project aims to verify whether Fårtex®—a fossil-free insulation material made from residual wool—can be imparted with triboelectric functionality and thereby generate measurable electrical energy from mechanical motion

The project aims to develop a bio-based, isocyanate-free lignin adhesive that can replace fossil-based polyurethane adhesives in plastic and metal laminates.

The project aims to explore the possibility of replacing plastic jars with fiber-based alternatives in a very large global market. Today, most jars are made from fossil-based plastics such as PP and PET, despite a growing demand for more sustainable solutions.
