      Green PAC is the innovation centre for biobased polymers and composites. It is part of NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences. Within the projects run by Green PAC team I am responsible for the R&D related to (bio-)composites. Examples of projects are: 'Biobased Woningbouw' and 'Fietsbrug Ritsumasyl'. Apart from this I give lectures within the minor “Composite Design Solutions”. Green PAC is the innovation centre for biobased polymers and composites.
