C-Fire Launches a World First with the Innovative BIOLINE Fire Extinguisher
New Solutions for Eco-Friendly Fire Safety
C-Fire, an innovator in eco-friendly fire safety solutions, launches the 'BIOLINE' fire extinguisher. This world first, which recently received the APRAGAZ certification, introduces a completely new approach to safety and sustainability.
As a member of the Cordeel Group, C-Fire is also a partner of the Living Tomorrow Innovation Campus. In this living lab, C-Fire's innovations are also presented to the general public.
Extinguishing fires without compromising the environment, a world first developed in Belgium
The 'BIOLINE' fire extinguisher is designed with the future in mind. The product is completely PFAS-free and fully biodegradable, making it a safe choice for both the user and the environment. This innovative extinguishing agent is not only efficient in fighting fires but also ensures that no harmful residues remain after use.
Unlike traditional powder or foam extinguishers, the 'BIOLINE' fire extinguisher, whose contents are fully biodegradable, does not need to be refilled after a few years. After use, the fire extinguisher does not need to be disposed of by a specialised company for disassembly and recycling or destruction of the foam or powder. The contents are simply biodegradable and have no expiration date. This avoids unnecessary transport and waste, further contributing to reducing environmental impact. This launch is the result of a passion for innovation and the strong commitment of the Cordeel Group to prioritise sustainability.
'In Belgium, we are required as a company to equip ourselves with fire extinguishers. But did you know that most foam extinguishers in our Belgian companies contain PFAS? We don’t want that. It is our mission and our passion: extinguish the flames, not the future.'
BIOLINE goes beyond being fluorine-free
Following the GREENLINE, C-Fire's fluorine-free foam extinguisher, the BIOLINE marks an important next step towards a more sustainable world.
“We clean fire brigade test sites, contaminated by PFAS with hemp through our company C-Biotech, and now with C-Fire, we also offer the possibility to make ordinary fire extinguishers completely PFAS-free and even BIO. We are introducing not just products. We are bringing a new concept in firefighting and safety,” says Inge Laureyns, CEO. “Our Control Fire sprays and this completely natural fire extinguisher are proof of our dedication and passion for innovation, safety, and the planet.”
With its ability to efficiently extinguish fires in the most critical situations, the BIOLINE is suitable for fire classes A and F, making it an essential tool for a wide range of fire scenarios. “From household kitchens to industrial environments, parking garages, airport buildings, indoors or outdoors, and down to -20 degrees Celsius, the BIOLINE is ready to provide safety without chemical additives. Compared to traditional extinguishers, the BIOLINE stands out with its stronger cooling and delaying effect, offering better protection against fire reignition. We are proud to finally share this innovation with the outside world,” adds Boris Bodjulak, R&D Director.
With this launch, C-Fire triggers an ecological revolution in fire safety.

THE FLEMISH PORT STRATEGY
Flanders has 3 major seaports and they all have their own interests and emphases: Port of Antwerp-Bruges, North Sea Port and the Port of Ostend. The aim of the Flemish Port Strategy is to complement and strengthen the individual strategies of these ports. But to do that, we need to join forces. That is the only way we can efficiently address the challenges for the ports and logistics sector and create tailor-made solutions, including for Flanders.

PROJECT OLIVIA
Every year, the amount of transport over water rises. The same is true for the number of jobs in the maritime sector, in multinationals, local start-ups and within the government. However, it remains a predominantly male sector. We want to change that with Project Olivia, by inspiring women to choose a job on, by or around the water. A goal that we share with many other countries and one which we are eager to cooperate on internationally.
