Fibre and Particle Engineering

Fibre and Particle Engineering research unit focuses on sustainable inorganic and bio-based materials of circular and bioeconomies. In addition, we provide education on particle and bioproduct technology in the process technology training program. We also offer research services related to analysis and processing of inorganic and lignocellulose materials.

We work together with a variety of universities, research institutes, and companies both in Finland and across Europe. If you are interested in cooperation, please contact us!
