About Material Sense LAB
Material Sense LAB is the place where original thinkers can try out their ideas in conjunction with leading commercial companies and top researchers. It is where materials can come together to produce cutting edge new products for a sustainable future. The LAB researches viable products made from revalued resources and bio-based materials. We want this to lead to a new way of thinking and new forms of co-operation, contributing to a circular economy.
