Launch of the ValCelMat project 🚀 On Tuesday 8 October, the partners of the ValCelMat project met for the first time in Béthune, at Université d'Artois. Interreg FWVL Recherche Université d'Artois #MateriaNova HOGENT Université de Picardie Jules Verne UGentTextiles Provincie Oost-Vlaanderen #RégionWallonne

The ValCelMat project aims to valorise cellulose in new applications (packaging, textiles, additives for bioplastics). The cellulose will be chemically modified to give it new functionalities (resistance to humidity, fire, etc.) while retaining its good intrinsic properties. 🌱
