Responsible handling of the use of building materials is essential in reducing related CO2 emissions, resource depletion and waste generation.
The TETRA research project "To bio or not to bio" aims to bring together and compile information on the characteristics and applications of insulation materials to give more confidence to the construction industry to start working with these materials. The focus is on both classically known and bio-based insulation materials (cellulose, straw flakes, recycled cotton, hemp...) for different applications: flat roof, pitched roof, ground floor, timber frame wall, solid outer wall, etc.
