Our research is strongly ‘applied’-oriented and aims to provide concrete solutions to the challenges that companies and industries face. We work closely with partners from industry, agriculture, chemistry and construction to develop new biobased materials and processes that can be directly applied in practice. This enables companies to operate more sustainably and at the same time respond to changing market needs and stricter environmental requirements.
One of the spearheads of our research is the development of biobased materials that can replace traditional fossil raw materials. Think of bioplastics, biocomposites and other materials that are produced from natural sources, without sacrificing quality or performance. These materials can be used in various industries, from packaging and consumer goods to construction and the automotive sector.
In addition, we investigate how biobased raw materials can be used for sustainable energy solutions, such as the production of biofuels and bioenergy. By developing efficient processing methods, such as fermentation and pyrolysis, we contribute to the realization of alternative energy sources that are less harmful to the environment and we help companies to reduce their ecological footprint.
At MNEXT, collaboration is key. We work closely with companies, governments and knowledge institutions to test our innovations and scale them up to commercial applications. Our practice-oriented research ensures that the latest developments in biobased technology can be quickly translated into practice, giving our partners the opportunity to lead the transition to a circular economy.
Our goal is to contribute to a sustainable future with biobased innovations, in which raw materials from nature are used efficiently and responsibly. MNEXT continues to invest in the development of technologies that enable the circular economy, with an eye for the environment, society and the challenges of tomorrow.
