Re-designing the construction sector

BIOSMATER

Sustainable and functional bio-based construction products and building elements.

About the Project

BIOS MATER is a Horizon Europe project driving the shift to safe, circular, and low-carbon construction. We’re developing high-performance building materials from renewable sources, combining durability, safety, and sustainability.

With 22 partners across 10 countries, we unite research, industry, and policy to scale up climate-resilient solutions for tomorrow’s buildings

From Biowaste to Buildings -Our 3-Step Path

Source Renewable Residues

We collect agrifood and natural biomass by-products, from plant fibres to crop waste.

Create Bio-Based Materials

These residues are transformed into strong, safe, and sustainable building components.

Demonstrate in the Real World

Tested in demonstration sites to show their potential for future-ready construction.

Project Goals andExpected Impact

BIOS MATER sets out to transform construction with circular, safe, and bio-based solutions that work in the real world and support sustainable change.

Advance Bio-Based Construction

Develop and demonstrate construction materials made from biomass, reducing reliance on fossil-based plastics.
