In the Netherlands, the Green Village, iCircl and the Province of South Holland opened the new living lab Biobased Boulevard, with the aim of accelerating the use of natural materials in construction.
This living lab, part of fieldlab The Green Village on TU Delft Campus, will help to use biobased building materials in construction and renovation on a large scale.
The aim of the Biobased Boulevard living lab is to get from pioneering in the living lab to scalable building products such as roof tiles and walls that are actually used in large construction projects. Marjan Kreijns, director of The Green Village, said: “Our rule-free field lab is the practical place for entrepreneurs, construction companies, clients, researchers and governments to test, develop and demonstrate bio-based building products and circular innovations. Here we bring all stakeholders together to gain knowledge, exchange and cooperate. This is an essential step to stimulate upscaling and to ultimately ensure biobased building products are used on a large scale.”
