Development of a new material category – Hybrid Timber, based on a mixture of annual lignocellulosic raw materials.

Beneficiary

Strumber

Project objective

The project is research-oriented and involves carrying out R&D activities aimed at developing an innovative product on a European scale – Hybrid Timber, based on whole, non-fragmented, and non-shredded stems (straw) of annual plants (hemp and flax), treated as a waste and problematic raw material in agrotechnical processes.

Planned results

As a result of research and development work, we expect to obtain an innovative and environmentally friendly material - a substitute for wood for further processing (e.g., cutting, planing, refining) based on a hybrid combination of fiber hemp and flax stalks. Hybrid lumber is intended to be an environmentally friendly alternative to wood.

The project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under the European Funds for Lubelskie 2021–2027 programme, within the Research and Innovation in the Enterprise Sector measure.

Development of technology for the production of Gramber composite from sawmilling by-products and annual plant stems.

Beneficiary

Strumber

Actions to be carried out under the project

The scope of the project includes conducting industrial research and development work, developing a mechanical process for converting sawmilling waste and annual plant stems into a cohesive composite material that will be formed without the use of thermal energy and without the addition of formaldehyde resins.

Target groups

The main target group for the Gramber product will be Polish and European small and medium-sized enterprises specializing in the production of door joinery, particularly internal door frames.

Project objective

The aim of the project is to develop an innovative technology for the production of a hybrid lignocellulosic composite called Gramber, utilizing local sawmilling waste and annual plant stems.

Planned results

The planned result of the project will be an innovative structural material with high mechanical strength and a low environmental footprint, intended for use in the construction and furniture industries.
