Agbioscience can play an important role by providing renewable biomass and bioenergy from crops and waste to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Green VTT has commitment to develop technologies for the bio-economy to benefit society through prosperity through less environmental burden. Industrial biomaterials spearhead program is targeting new value added applications on non-food related biomass in the fields of marked industrial importance, such as packaging, composites and appliances. The development is based on long research activity in the fields of biomass fractionation and converting as well deep expertise on the material sciences, converting technologies and application.
This Research Highlights focuses on novel biopolymers from forest industry side-streams that have been developed for bio-packing applications, like oxygen and grease barrier materials for fibre webs. Development of translucent and mouldable fibre based packaging and modification and regeneration of cellulose enabled new openings. The main achievement is, however, the nanocellulose development that has progressed to the international top level, enabling VTT partners to move to the industrial scale test runs and pilot decisions. Research and development in the area of industrial biomaterials has a positive impact on chemical, forest and packing industry.

A Deakin University project is investigating the use of bamboo as a natural fiber in automotive bio-composites as an alternative to current materials. The project found that bio-composites made of bamboo fibers and polylactide polymer exhibited excellent mechanical properties matching those used in the automotive industry. Bamboo's anti-bacterial and UV protective properties could help overcome issues with moisture absorbance, UV sensitivity and low impact resistance that affect the durability of other bio-composites. The next step is to combine bamboo with another natural fiber to further improve the properties and performance of the materials.

Sustainable Manufacturing Process of Insulator and Sanitary Ware by MD MAHABU...MD MAHABUB HASAN
Sustainable manufacturing processes for insulators and sanitary ware prioritize Eco-friendly materials, resource efficiency and waste reduction. These processes often incorporate renewable energy sources and emphasize recycling to minimize environmental impact. Water conservation and energy efficiency measures are also integral, reducing overall resource consumption. Additionally, sustainable manufacturing promotes the use of environmentally friendly materials and adopts a circular economy approach, aiming to minimize waste and maximize product lifespan. By integrating these practices, manufacturers can produce insulators and sanitary ware with lower carbon footprints and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Insulators and sanitary ware represent indispensable components in the realms of electricity and personal hygiene, respectively. While insulators ensure the smooth flow of electricity, safeguarding infrastructure, sanitary ware contributes to creating hygienic and comfortable living and working spaces. The evolution of materials and designs in both categories continues to shape the landscape of construction and infrastructure, enhancing the quality of life for individuals around the globe. Applications & Integral, Overhead power lines, Electrical substations, High-voltage equipment, Telecommunication infrastructure.

The Faculty of Applied Science at UBC
is home to one of North America’s
premier engineering schools – UBC
Engineering – bringing together 12
engineering programs. The UBC Faculty
of Forestry is Canada’s largest forestry
school and a leader in education and
research for forest conservation, forest
products and natural resources.
The Sauder School of Business is one of
the world’s leading academic business
schools and is dedicated to rigorous,
relevant and experiential teaching.
Together, these educational leaders
collaborated closely with leading green
bio-products industry members to
create the UBC Master of Engineering
Leadership in Green Bio-Products degree.
From pharmaceuticals, food packaging, clothing and building materials to cutting-
edge carbon nanofibres and biofuels, a new generation of green bio-products is being
developed as a viable replacement for oil-based products and fuels.
UBC has an exceptional group of researchers who are furthering the development of
biomaterials from trees, including specialty paper applications, fibre- and fibril-reinforced
materials, and carbon fibres from lignin. The UBC Master of Engineering Leadership
(MEL) in Green Bio-Products is designed to develop highly qualified personnel with
the specialized knowledge and practical experience to assume challenging roles in the
rapidly evolving lignocellulosic biomass products sector.
Unique in North America, this new degree will support graduate participation in the
development of advanced technical processes, product ideation and senior project
management roles.
CUTTING-EDGE FACULTY
Dr. Mark Martinez is a Professor of
Chemical and Biological Engineering,
Director of the UBC Pulp and Paper
Centre, and a world-renowned researcher.
Dr. Scott Renneckar is a Professor of
Wood Science, specializing in wood
polymer chemistry and leading the
Advanced Renewable Materials Lab.
These are two of the many top
researchers in this field who are involved
in the delivery of the program.
UBC provides a strong cross-faculty
voice for the province’s bio-economy,
research and associated partners. The
Faculty of Applied Science and Faculty
of Forestry collaborate to offer a learning
environment rich in interdisciplinary
research resources and expertise.
WORLD-CLASS FACILITIES
UBC’s Faculty of Forestry’s facilities are
customized, state-of-the-art research
labs designed for high-level, world-class
investigation, with a focus on value-
added wood products. The UBC Pulp and
Paper Centre has a 30-year commitment
to advance forest products and
biomaterials research. The Centre
supports competitiveness and
transformation through research and
development, education and training
through the demonstration of new
technology in pilot facilities and
mill trials.
A COMPREHENSIVE GREEN BIO-PRODUCTS CURRICULUM
Program graduates will gain a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the chemistry and
anatomy of the tree and its role as one of the most prolific forms of biomass. Students will study
lignocellulosic separation chemistry and the production pathways for biocomposites and fuels.
They will also examine the spectrum of potential bio-products, including biopolymers, biorefining,
bioenergy and public policy for the bio-products sector.
Distinct from other programs in Canada and internationally, the Master of Engineering Leadership in
Green Bio-Products will create industry leaders who are peers to their engineering team members,
with specialist skills in project management.
ONE YEAR, INTENSIVE STUDY, FACE TO FACE
The Master of Engineering Leadership in Green Bio-Products is offered on a January through
December calendar year. It is designed with a 60% focus on technical specialization and
40% focus on a leadership platform designed to enhance the business, communication and
soft skills of program participants.
UBC’s program is designed for early-career professionals with three or more years of industry
experience, with an undergraduate degree in Applied Science, Science or Forestry. This
comprehensive curriculum is grounded in collaborative projects with faculty and forestry and
green biomass companies in Vancouver.
UBC is uniquely positioned to offer the Master of Engineering Leadership in Green Bio-Products.
We bring together cross-faculty resources from the Faculty of Applied Science and Faculty of
Forestry.The program emphasizes cross-disciplinary study to strengthen technical perspectives.

Curriculum follows the Industry Value Chain
4. “Trees are the key to our shared sustainable future. UBC’s
Master of Engineering Leadership in Green Bio-Products
addresses this future head-on, equipping graduates with the
skills and knowledge to make valuable contributions to sector
transformation, development of innovative new products
and being future leaders in the emerging bio-economy.”

THE GROWING GREEN
BIO-PRODUCTS SECTOR
Trees are nature’s most readily renewable
resource and contain valuable biopolymers
like lignin and cellulose. The University
of British Columbia is a world leader
in creating innovative value from forest
biomass. As a top global research
institution, UBC contributes to the
advanced research in this sector through
partnerships with industry, government
and utilities. The Master of Engineering
Leadership in Green Bio-Products is
designed to prepare students to work
as valued leaders and sector specialists
in this exciting and emerging industry.
