How do regulations support the development of biobased materials?

In terms of regulations, the RE2020 now replaces the Réglementation thermique 2012 (RT2012). The RE2020 does not directly require the use of biobased materials in construction. However, it does introduce new indicators, notably "IC construction", which represents the building's impact on climate change.

BioImpulse: heading towards 2024 after a promising year

Just like previous years, 2023 has been rich for the BioImpulse team, with the validation of the third milestone, and promising advances for the project.

The history of phenolic resins: the impact of Baekeland and Bakelite

n 1909, the Belgian-American chemist Leo Hendrik Baekeland changed the landscape of the plastics industry forever with his discovery of Bakelite, a revolutionary phenolic resin. Baekeland, often referred to as the "father of the plastics industry", opened the way to new possibilities in the manufacture of polymeric materials.
