Chemistree: tree-based chemistry for new biobased materials.

At VITO, Kelly and Karolien unlock the hidden power of trees. Using forest-based compounds like lignin, they develop innovative, sustainable materials, from insulation to coatings, proving that nature is the smartest chemist of all. This keynote reveals how green chemistry can shape the future of materials, starting right in our forests.
