Commercialisation of an eco-friendly suberic acid-based wood composite binder technology

Project summary

The aim of the project is to develop an ecological suberic acid-based wood composite binder technology up to TRL6 at the LVKCRI through industrial research, experimental development and prototyping, as well as to offer it to Latvian and foreign manufacturers for the production of various product prototypes (particleboard, plywood, decorative products, etc.) in an artificially created environment.

Main activities of the project:

• Feasibility studies and development of a commercialisation strategy.
• Technology development to mitigate/eliminate identified challenges and improve product features to meet market needs.
• Development of an experimental demonstration prototype and its testing for use in a real environment.
• Contact with industry for technology demonstration and feedback.
• Adaptation of the prototype to market requirements.
• Securing ownership and selling the licence.
