Bio-tiles and heat-resistant biopolymers
Even tiles can be organic – if they are made of renewable raw materials. They are more resource-efficient than their ceramic counterparts and unlock new creative options for design. Bioplastics made of polylactides (PLA) are becoming more heat-resistant, thereby making them suitable for high-temperature filling processes in the food industry as well. Researchers are showing how renewable, biodegradable and biostable raw materials can be used in architecture, interior design and the packaging industry.
