L2M – Plant based adhesives for a greener future

The goal of this research is to employ protein derived from canola meal, a readily accessible agricultural byproduct generated in Canada, to create a biodegradable, non-toxic adhesive. This breakthrough contributes to Canada’s agriculture sector, lowers environmental and health concerns in the wood production industry, and promotes the country’s green economy goals by eliminating synthetic, petroleum based adhesives.
