Structural bio material formats

BioPRO® is engineered to replace synthetic and virgin alternatives in building components, panels, and structural formats — without compromising on performance or longevity.

Circular by design

Produced from post-consumer leather fibre, BioPRO® supports green building objectives, whole-life carbon targets, and sustainable procurement requirements from the ground up.

Process-compatible

Materials are developed for compatibility with standard industrial manufacturing processes — not laboratory samples, but manufacturable formats that fit existing production infrastructure.

Bio-based materials for structural building applications

BioPRO® is being developed for use in structural and composite building products — panels, boards, and formed material formats that replace synthetic and virgin alternatives. Its collagen-based composition gives it a natural strength-to-weight profile suited to applications where performance requirements and sustainability credentials both need to be met.

Green building

Supporting whole-life carbon targets

Green building standards and whole-life carbon requirements are reshaping material specifications across the construction sector. BioPRO® offers a bio-based material with verifiable circular credentials — produced from post-consumer leather fibre with measurably lower embodied carbon than fossil-derived alternatives, supporting sustainability requirements without performance trade-offs.

Production formats

Compatible with existing manufacturing infrastructure

BioPRO® is developed for compatibility with standard industrial manufacturing processes — not laboratory samples, but manufacturable material formats that fit the production infrastructure already in place at building component manufacturers. encircol works directly with manufacturers to develop formats suited to specific construction applications.

FAQs

Common questions

About BioPRO® and encircol's construction applications.

BioPRO® provides a bio-based alternative to synthetic materials used in building components, panels, and structural formats — engineered to perform where longevity and sustainability credentials are both required.

Construction demands materials that perform over long lifespans. BioPRO® is engineered from post-consumer leather fibre in a process that preserves the natural performance characteristics of collagen, making it suited to structural and composite construction formats.

BioPRO® replaces virgin and fossil-derived materials with a circular bio-based alternative — supporting green building objectives, whole-life carbon targets, and sustainable procurement requirements without sacrificing performance.

BioPRO® is relevant to architects, engineers, material specifiers, and manufacturers involved in developing bio-based building products and structural composites. Enquiries from across the construction supply chain are welcome.
