The group behind the H2020-project Bio4Self won the Techtextil Innovation Award fair in Germany.
After being rewarded with the International JEC Innovation Award for Sustainability on March 13 2019, the BIO4SELF concept of a self-reinforced PLA composite material, developed in the European H2020 project, now received the TechTextil Innovation Award for Sustainability at the TechTextil fair in Frankfurt am Main, the number one fair for technical textiles in the world.
The Bio4Self project group received the Techtextil Innovation Award for the developed concept of a sustainable self-reinforced PLA composite material.
These composites are fully bio-based, easily recyclable, reshapable and even industrially biodegradable. The composites are produced using one type of material: polylactic acid or PLA, a thermoplastic bio-polyester derived from renewable resources such as agricultural waste, non-food crops or sugar cane.
