The research by the Institute of Design and Construction Technology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology resulted in the &#8222;development of a new class of bio-based, resource-efficient and CO2-negative materials.&#8220; As an alternative to particleboard, MDF and OSB, the boards are made exclusively from wood and agricultural waste. Mushroom mycelium is used as a natural binder, so no synthetic binders are required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research project shows that NEWood has comparable properties to wood-based materials such as MDF, OSB and particleboard. The use of mycelium, the structural part of fungi, is a novel bonding method that enables the production of a 100% bio-based and fully recyclable alternative to wood-based materials. The project team, consisting of Dr. Alireza Javadian, Dr. Nazanin Saeidi and Prof. Dirk E. Hebel, is convinced that &#8222;NEWood&#8220; will be a sustainable alternative to conventional MDF and particleboard and has the potential to initiate a paradigm shift in the way we produce our future building materials in terms of the circular economy without leaving any waste behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.competitionline.com\/de\/news\/ergebnisse\/competitionline-campus-award-2023-450802\/prizegroup\/preis-fakultaetsprojekte-newood-161678.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>165 projects from 54 universities took part in this year&#8217;s competitionline CAMPUS Award.
