As the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) marks its third anniversary on November 30, 2024, we at LIGNICOAT are proud to be part of this journey towards a more sustainable and competitive European bioeconomy. As a CBE JU-funded project, LIGNICOAT is contributing to the development of innovative, sustainable coatings derived from lignin resins and bio-additives, aligning with CBE JU’s mission to reduce reliance on petrochemicals and promote a circular bio-based economy.
