Bio-based solutions: an essential turning point

To meet the new ecological challenges, Groupe Berkem offers innovative and sustainable wood protection methods and techniques. These Bio-based solutions for a better future have become a major challenge for Groupe Berkem and the players in the wood industry. A brief overview of this trend.

What exactly is a bio-based solution?

A bio-based solution is a formula developed from raw materials derived from biomass. Made from biological materials such as plants and algae, these solutions are designed to be more environmentally friendly. So why are these solutions so popular?

Bio-based solutions: a trend for a better future

Faced with the depletion of fossil fuels, industries are beginning to realise the importance of preserving our environment and taking a new ecological direction for the future. With this in mind, many industrial players are turning their attention to new, more responsible alternatives, such as biosourced products of natural origin. The use of bio-sourced materials is a perfect response to these new ecological challenges, offering high-performance, effective solutions for protecting wood materials.

The advantages of bio-based solutions

A genuine innovation, bio-based products offer a number of advantages:

• Bio-based solutions help to reduce dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels and use renewable biological materials.
• More than just an ecological issue, Bio-based materials enable us to develop high-performance protection solutions for wood materials that also respect the environment.
• Bio-based products meet consumers’ expectations in terms of protecting the planet, and are part of a coherent approach to the plant exploitation sector.

Ultimately, bio-based solutions are part of a new economy that is more respectful of the environment.

The bio-based solutions offered by Groupe Berkem

Long before bio-based solutions and ecology became a trend, Groupe Berkem  took a real turning point in the 2000s by integrating bio-based products into a large part of its range of wood protection products. Today more than ever, our research and development department continues to develop new innovations to offer ever more responsible, high-performance products.

As a result, in 2018 Groupe Berkem was able to develop a bio-based version of its gel formulation.

We are therefore proud to be able to offer you our bio-based solutions on a large part of our range of products for protecting construction wood, carpentry, joinery, etc.
