Sustainability and materials group, AMIBM
The “Sustainability and materials group” is part of the Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials (AMIBM). AMIBM is a European, cross-border, research institute focusing on the development of advanced biobased materials. AMIBM designs, creates and translates biobased molecules, processes and materials into applications that outperform in functionality and sustainability for better living.
Our Vision: The AMIBM vision is to provide the missing links between fundamental, applied and translational research in the field of biobased materials, by changing the relationship between the production of biobased materials and the value chain. This will be achieved by developing an integrated, interdisciplinary research program focusing on novel strategies to produce advanced biobased materials and chemical building blocks in a sustainable and economical manner, and to develop these novel materials into innovative products for technical and medical applications.
Our Mission: AMIBM has a clear mission statement: ‘to design, create and translate biobased molecules, processes and materials into applications that outperform in functionality and sustainability for better living’.
Our Expertise: Performing, evaluating and interpreting Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) by investigating the environmental, as well as economic and social, impacts of materials, processes, and systems to support decision-makers in universities, companies, and governments.
Our team: A multidisciplinary team consisting of sustainability researchers with various backgrounds over the value chain.
