Today’s focus is on one of BIO-UPTAKE’s construction demonstrators: the ceiling for pre-fabricated bathroom pods, and the value chain behind it, as illustrated in our latest infographic.
This value chain showcases how bio-based thermoset composites can be integrated into industrial construction processes while improving performance, efficiency, and sustainability.

🔗 The value chain at a glance
Bio-based epoxy resin (CAN technology)
Flax fibres as natural reinforcement
Resin impregnation to produce pre-impregnated organosheets
Thermoforming of endured organosheets
Final application: 𝗰𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲-𝗳𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝘀

🌱 What makes this solution stand out?
BIO-UPTAKE brings clear advantages to the construction sector:
- Reprocessable and recyclable, thanks to CAN-based bioepoxy resins
- 30% faster manufacturing process
- Zero scrap, supporting circular economy principles

These innovations demonstrate how bio-based composites can meet industrial requirements while reducing waste, energy use, and environmental impact, a key step toward more sustainable construction practices across Europe.
More insights coming soon as we approach the final days of the BIO-UPTAKE countdown.
