A leap of scale in Building Based on Biobased, that's our aim! In the BBoBB project, 16 partners across five countries in the North Sea region work together to design, develop and strengthen value chains for the use of biobased materials. In our partnership all parts of the value chain are represented. We believe that the transition to a circular economy is an important means of working on climate challenge, with the prospect of new business models. Therefore, the use of biobased materials in construction (built environment, interior construction and civil engineering) offers a unique opportunity which we want to seize. A number of frontrunners are aware of the urgency and opportunities of biobased materials, but are encountering various obstacles to take further steps. BBoBB is about developing, reinforcing and demonstrating value chains for biobased construction so that everyone in the chain โ€“ from farmer to builder โ€“ is able and willing to make a joint contribution to the challenges of our time.

Overarching obstacles currently experienced are of organizational, technical and juridical nature:

Lack of well-organized value chains
Fragmented and partly missing knowledge and data
Facilitating government policies, laws and regulations
Awareness among different parties in the chain
Financial feasibility of biobased construction materials

The objective of BBoBB is to tackle these challenges in the NSR by developing a transnational approach for the valorisation of biobased value chains. This will be demonstrated in 5 regional pilots, where developed methods and business models are actually applied.

This Interreg North Sea project is co-funded by the European Union.
