Innovation & Collaboration
FiberLean is actively engaged with stakeholders in several collaborative projects focused on improved production of MFC, application methods and product form of MFC, and new applications of MFC.
At FiberLean, we believe innovation is only possible when we work together. Whether you are working at a university, research institute, or company, we are keen to collaborate with you and develop new applications for MFC. We can offer supply of MFC samples, many years of experience in developing MFC applications and tailoring MFC properties to different applications, and a clear path to commercialisation and scale-up since our MFC production is cost-effective and commercially proven.
We are currently involved in the following externally funded projects:
LIFE B3FURN
A project on using MFC as the binder in fibreboards as an alternative to MDF made solely from recycled cardboard
R3PACK
A Horizon Europe project on the development of fibre based packaging
FIBSUN
An EU funded project where MFC is used to enhance non-woven fabrics for composite applications
SUPREME

ESM
