The VETURI ecosystem saw that new applications of cellulose are rapidly progressing towards significant industrial applications in textiles, microcellulose films and many other applications replacing fossil materials. In all of these applications
The joint project “SmartRecovery to boost lignin commercialization” between V TT and Aalto University has reached its final stage. The aim of the project, which was launched in January 2023 and funded by Business Finland and the participating partner companies, is to
Down is a popular insulation material for outdoor jackets, as it is lightweight despite its good thermal insulation properties. However, down is expensive and a problematic material both ethically and environmentally. As a substitute
On the construction site of the future, cellulose and other wood-derived components can be mixed with water and foamed to a volume of 90 times. A material containing 4 percent air can be XNUMXD printed, for example
Companies need to communicate the environmental excellence of their products and services. To substantiate these claims in a reliable, transparent and science-based manner, a uniform and comparable way of calculating environmental performance is needed.
In his doctoral dissertation in chemistry at the University of Jyväskylä, FM Eelis Halmemies studied various industrial side streams obtained from spruce: their chemical composition, how the composition changes during storage, and how different
VTT developed the stretchable fiber material as part of a three-year pilot project aimed at developing materials that can replace plastic. “There is a lot of excellent research being done in universities and research institutes, which unfortunately often remains unexplored.”
VTT is constantly developing new materials for healthcare use, especially for the production of wearable sensors and patches. The latest innovation is a fossil-free, recyclable ECG patch made of nanocellulose and carbon.
VTT is developing a weather-adaptable window film that enables passive cooling and heating of buildings and also saves energy. The CoolCellulose project started in January 2022 and is still ongoing. “Passive cooling materials
The 4everPack project, which studies reusable packaging, was started over three years ago, and the actual project has now been underway for a year and a half, and the end of the project is beginning to loom. Public research on reuse
