Future of BioBuilding: Ceresana Event on Bio-Based Building Materials

KONSTANZ, Germany - Nov. 25, 2025 - PRLog -- New skilled workers for our construction sites do not necessarily have to be robots: Sheep produce insulating mats, fungi grow panels, algae provide limestone. Innovative building materials made from renewable raw materials are not only interesting for ecological reasons. "Future of BioBuilding", Ceresana's next international online event, will provide information on the opportunities that bio-based solutions open up for the construction industry. Experts will also be discussing the challenges on the way to a "green" construction industry: from securing raw materials to industrial scaling and successful implementation on the market.

Inspiring Examples of Sustainable Building

On December 10 and 11, 2025, several keynotes will present new building products based on mycelium, i.e. materials made from fungal structures. For example, Helge Schritt of MycoLutions will present acoustic and thermal insulation made from biodegradable composite materials that are held together by fungal threads. Bert Rademakers from Mycelium Materials Europe and Nelson Vaga Galleguillos from Fungarium will also highlight perspectives related to mycelium. Furthermore, hemp is an old crop that is being rediscovered: Henrik Pauly from Hanfingenieur is enthusiastic about the revolution in the construction industry, while Schönthaler Bausteinwerk manufactures bricks made from hemp and lime in South Tyrol. Insulation materials made from sheep's wool have already established themselves on the market: Felicitas Lehner of Isolena Naturfaservliese will provide insights from the field and report on new developments. The keynote speakers and other representatives of the bio-economy promise exciting panel discussions.

Impulses, Exchange, and Networking

The advantages of organic building materials include new opportunities for agricultural regions and the possible utilization of previously unused resources. However, a great deal of research and development is still required, and state regulation is often lagging behind. Roland Klein from the Fraunhofer Institute LBF in Darmstadt will take part in the Ceresana event with a presentation on flame-retardant insulation boards made from agricultural residues. Representatives of start-ups, SMEs, and large companies, specialist media, the investment and finance sector, science and research, politics or administration are invited to the "Future of BioBuilding" event. There will be plenty of networking opportunities on both days to establish contacts, strengthen business relationships, and exchange experiences. In January 2026, the "Future of Bio" digital event series will then continue with another, more specialized construction topic: bio-based paints and coatings.

"Future of BioBuilding" will take place on December 10 and 11, 2025, both as a half-day event. The English-language online event is free of charge. Further Information: https://ceresana.com/en/events/future-of-biobuilding
