Title: Improving waste management of biobased plastics and the upcycling in the packaging, textile and agricultural sectors
Expected results:
MoeBIOS works on improving the recycling technologies for biodegradable bioplastics deriving from textiles, agriculture and packaging applications. MoeBIOS focuses also on the collection and sorting of the bioplastic waste (simulated streams) and offers solutions for the upcycling and validation of the final recycled end-products.
The end-products will feature at least the same quality and functionality of the original grades. The three pilot plants in Spain, Italy and Germany will be located on the premises of actual industrial recyclers. The technology upscale will reach TRL 6-7 or even beyond.
MoeBIOS focuses on bioplastics for which recycling processes are still not in place: PLA and PLA blends, PHA and its blends, PBS, PEF and PBAT.
Active: 1 June 2024 – 30 May 2028

“Rethink the circularity of your products!”
From Biodegradability to Recyclability: Innovators prove you can have both.
A challenging legal framework is asking packaging producers to rethink their products. The EmpCo Directive makes standalone ‘biodegradable’ claims illegal without verified evidence of excellent environmental performance. The PPWR mandates all packaging be recyclable […]
