About the project
SUSPENSE consortium will focus on creating adhesives from renewable feedstocks such as bio-acids, polyphenolics, proteins and other bio-derived materials. The developed adhesives will meet market demands and regulatory standards and will be used in wood-based panels such as plywood, particle board and MDF, as well as wood-based insulation materials. The technical performance of the adhesives will be validated through comprehensive industrial testing.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to tackle the challenges of environmental pollution and resource depletion, health concerns from toxic chemicals in conventional adhesives and economic instability due to reliance on non-renewable raw materials.
Funding instrument Circular Bio-based Europe (CBE)
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse funding experts from the bioeconomy team supported the SUSPENSE consortium in preparing the project proposal. Upon the successful outcome of the funding proposal submittance, our experts also supported CHIMAR in the Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP) process.
Spinverse will continue to collaborate with the consortium by providing project management support services.
Our collaboration with Spinverse has led to the achievement of our goal, which is to implement an ambitious project on bio-based and de-bondable adhesives, dedicated to low carbon footprint wood composites.

About the project
The LIFE Lit4Nature aims to establish a stronger, evidence-based system for biodiversity conservation and restoration across Lithuania. Major focus will be placed on strengthening the national biodiversity monitoring system, improving data collection and integration and on introducing innovative monitoring approaches to support evidence-based conservation and restoration decisions.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to boost stronger biodiversity and ecosystem recovery across Lithuania through nationwide conservation and restoration. Further, it wants to achieve better national coordination for efficient and well targeted conservation measures and their funding.
Funding instrument LIFE Programme
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal.
The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan.
Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”
