Insights into the latest research developments and on the upscaling of novel biobased, recyclable packaging materials for food contact.
The European Union, through the research and innovation funding programmes Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, and the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU, formerly BBE) fund collaborative projects in view of improving bio-based packaging in terms of properties and end-of-life. Meet experts from three of these projects and learn about the latest developments.Ā
Over the past few years, BIOnTop has been focusing on PLA-based home compostable mono-materials, such as multilayer trays and films, recyclable and reusable coated woven fabrics, and packaging made of secondary raw materials.
PRESERVE is currently developing solutions to improve the recyclability of food packaging: 5 demonstrators for food packaging based on PLA and PHA and 5 demonstrators for cosmetic care applications based on secondary raw materials.: 5 demonstrators for food packaging based on PLA and PHA and 5 demonstrators for cosmetic care applications based on secondary raw materials.
BIoSupPackĀ“s purpose is to upscale new, economically convenient, and high-performing bio-based rigid packaging solutions based on PHA, also suitable for being recycled and recovered.
