ATRIUM is a European-funded project dedicated to developing high-performance, bio-based materials for the construction industry by leveraging renewable resources such as hemp, mycelium, and bio-polymers. ATRIUM exploits the potential of combining natural fibres (leftovers of European crops, mainly hemp), second and third generation of bioplastics (bio-PE/PA/PU) and mycelium-based biotechnology to produce bio-composites intermediates that can be integrated in construction products (outdoor and indoor floorings, acoustic panels, green wall systems, and building block) to be easily used by professionals and amateurs in building and renovation actuations. To do this, ATRIUM will develop production pilot lines that integrate efficient and flexible technologies (co-extrusion, foaming, injection moulding, additive manufacturing and bio fabrications) and engage the key actors for the design acceptance and certification of the new products. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Framework Programme under Grant Agreement No 101135031 and is co-funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under Grant Agreement No 10120731, under the UK government’s Horizon Europe funding guarantee.
