BioSTEP virtual exhibition
Bioeconomy is already part of our everyday life!
Dresses made from milk or coffee, car tyres from dandelion, sneaker soles from rice husks or armchairs that are tanned with extracts from olive leaves – sometimes you have to look twice to see which biobased technology is hidden inside. Have a look at the products section to learn about biobased products, the materials, technologies and procedures used and their sustainability effect.
