Abstract
In Finland, the VTT Technical Research Centre has developed methods and product innovations to process the most rapidly renewable surface layer of peat instead of using it for energy production. The goal is to develop bio-based composite materials containing peat fibre, for example for the manufacture of consumer products and construction materials, at the same time reducing the use of oil-based raw materials in production. The advantages of products containing peat fibre are their biological origin, low cost, water resistance, impact strength, excellent fire endurance characteristics and biodegradability, according to VTT.
