BAMFIB
Development of recyclable bamboo fiber composites using bio-based binders and advanced processing technologies
BAMFIB develops next-generation bamboo fibre composites using bio-based binders including but not limited to mycelium and chitosan as sustainable alternatives to conventional materials. The project combines material development, process engineering, and circular design to enable recyclable, low-emission composites for construction and industrial applications. Bamboo fibres are optimized and combined with novel binders, while manufacturing is adapted through fibre injection moulding (FIM). Mechanical performance, durability, and environmental impact are evaluated to ensure technical feasibility and scalability.

Gernot Minke: Building with Bamboo
The new book by Gernot Minke entitled „Building with Bamboo – Design and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture“ was recently published by Birkhäuser Verlag. In addition to material information and properties, it also contains application examples from research and practice. In the chapter „Reinforcing with Bamboo“, among other things, research projects of the Sustainable Construction…
