Wageningen Food and Biobased Research (WFBR) is one of 7 closely linked institutes forming Wageningen Research (WR). WFBR provides strategic and application-oriented research within the fields of fresh, food and chains and bio-based products. This enables the rapid conversion of fundamental knowledge to applications on the market. WFBR’s mission is to perform research, aimed at enhancing added value of (agricultural) raw materials, and to act as an intermediate between science and application. WFBR will be represented by the business unit Bio-based products, which is the leading knowledge institute on green raw materials, process innovation, bio-based products and waste management. It has specialised expertise in areas such as biomass processing, biotechnology, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry and polymer technology including plastic recycling. This is supported with well-equipped laboratories with a wide range of analyses equipment and pilot facilities with a broad range of processing equipment. WFBR is active in implementation-oriented R&D on products such as biopolymers (bioplastics and films), paper and board production/recycling, paints and adhesives, sustainable building materials, and many other applications of bio-based feedstock for the chemical industry. It also performs policy studies for the government.
