BIOSAFIRE goes back to nature to upgrade lignins and tannins, nature’s flame retardants, and unlock them for industrial application of biosbased flame retardants. Starting from already existing pilot plants, BIOSAFIRE upscalesand broadens the available feedstocks to provide flame retardant in powder formats for five applications in four different sectors: naval, railway, household goods and wood coatings.
Featuring the same fire retardancy performance as chosen toxic benchmarks and enhancingsafety and sustainability with an 80% of biobased content, BIOSAFIRE aspires to not only demonstrate its targets on 5 use cases, but also to create a material portfolio and a set of processing guidelines to enhance flame retardants substitution by the industry. This will open the possibility for biobased resins to exhibit good fire retardant properties.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No. 101178218.
On 27–28 May 2025, members of the BIOSAFIRE consortium met for their annual meeting, organised this time by project partner RYMATEX. The two-day event was an important milestone in the project schedule, allowing all parties involved to discuss current progress, jointly set directions for further action and strengthen cooperation.
