CERISEA aims to be the first to awaken the Sleeping Giant. The project will not only produce the HMF, but demonstrate its broad range of bio-based sustainable applications including:

• araminolic resins
• crop science
• functionalised biopolymers (modified starch)
• functionalised compounds
• polyesters
• polyamides
• polyurethanes
• plasticizers

CERISEA bio-based products will meet market and technical performance requirements, facilitating the adoption of these solutions in the market. The project will be fully circular, with the valorisation of by-products called humins in 2 applications (araminolic resins and crop science). Also, the integration of HMF and humins (produced using a Process using fructose coming from wheat crops) in crop science and more specifically in biostimulants that will be tested on grains, including wheat, will demonstrate the creation of a truly circular system “from grain to grain”.
