Agriculture provides the industry with numerous biomass-resources for multiple applications such as packaging, car composites, insulation, building materials and lots of other products. Bio-materials and bio-plastics become more and more a part of a sustainable solution in the industry.

Biomass possesses a range of basic components with interesting technical properties which can be used in multiple applications and often substitute unwanted materials being hazardous to health. But there is a need for research and development of 1) biodegradable bio polymers, remaining their technical properties while in use and decomposes rapidly afterwards and 2) non biodegradable polymers with improved durability and functionality.
One of AgroTechs core business areas is biomass for bio-energy and bio-material purposes such as bio-composites and building materials.
