N2 - In the CircularBioMat project we want to minimize the environmental footprint by substitutingpetroleum-based polymers with bio-based polymers for building services engineering. Wealso want to improve the resource efficiency and bring the materials into a circular economy.To do this, we need to develop a catalogue of requirements, taking into account the currentstandards for the construction industry. First, we evaluate the existing materials and thenwe can select bio-based or recycled polymers. These are processed using standard techno-logies such as injection moulding and extrusion, but also using Additive Manufacturing viaMaterial Extrusion (MEX). During these trials, the power supply and the amount of coolingwater will be measured to provide better data for the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The LCAwill then show how the different materials perform in respect to the carbon footprint.As a first step, we have selected bio-based polymers that are expected to perform well com-pared to the petroleum-based polymers. All materials are characterised at the Institute ofPolymer Processing using the High Pressure Capillary Rheometer for viscosity, DifferentialScanning Calorimetry for thermal properties and pvT measurements (specific volume as afunction of pressure (p) and temperature (T)).
