The NewWave Project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Programme, has been a pioneering initiative to lay the foundations for a sustainable and circular economy by introducing innovative and bio-based raw materials into production lines for the construction sector. The focus lies with the transformation of current fossil-based production lines into new bio-based value chains. Through technological innovation, NewWave aimed to replace toxic and fossil chemicals and reduce the environmental footprint, while ensuring mechanical and physical performance equal to or exceeding that of traditional construction products. 

This booklet provides a recap of the results achieved after four years of work by the project consortium.
