This funding call focuses on the development, demonstration, and deployment of sustainable bio-based construction materials with advanced functional properties. The initiative aligns with the Circular Economy and Zero Pollution Action Plan, the Construction Products Regulation revision, and the EU Bioeconomy Strategy. Targeting innovative solutions for the construction industry, the call aims to address key challenges such as reducing CO2 emissions, enhancing circularity, and improving environmental sustainability.
Applicants are expected to propose projects that integrate circular bio-based solutions in building construction and renovation, address market and regulatory compliance, and demonstrate improved health and safety profiles. The proposals should also explore spillover applications to other large-volume markets such as transport and furniture, assess compatibility with construction practices, and perform field trials involving end users.
The scope emphasizes the scalability of bio-based products, compatibility with built environments, and alignment with environmental and safety standards. Applicants must also include an assessment based on the Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) framework and ensure sustainable production routes.
