Bioeconomy: insulation panels from grass, Belgium

This report provides illustration photos of the production of insulation panels from grass by Belgian company Gramitherm. The company produces these bio-based, sustainable insulation panels non-cultivated, underused grass that is harvested and processed locally. The panels represent a healthy, long-lasting alternative to traditional insulation solutions with a minimal ecological footprint and are designed to be recycled at end-of-life, helping to reduce waste.

This report is part of a series aimed at showing examples of the EU bioeconomy sector. The Commission proposed an EU Bioeconomy Strategy in 2025, which aims to build a clean, competitive and resilient European economy. The bioeconomy offers Europe a chance to strengthen its strategic autonomy, replace fossil-based materials, create jobs, and lead the global shift to clean industries.
