BIO-2-PRINT is an Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme (NPA) project (March 2025 – February 2028) that brings together partners from Ireland, Finland, and Sweden. The project develops sustainable feedstock for 3D printing by transforming underutilised natural fibres — such as wool, hemp, and seaweed  into high-value materials for construction and manufacturing.

With a total budget of €1.5 million (€985,000 ERDF co-financing), BIO-2-PRINT
promotes the transition to a circular and resource-efficient economy while creating
new opportunities for SMEs, farmers, and local communities.

Expected Outcomes
 – New bio-based 3D printing materials ready for industry testing.
 – Reduction of waste and CO₂ emissions through the reuse of natural fibres and recycled aggregates.
 – Strengthened SME capabilities in sustainable construction technologies.
 – A scalability roadmap for wider industrial adoption.
