On 23 and 24 January, the BIOMAC held its project meeting which marked the completion of the first half of this project. The 35 project partners discussed the progress made in achieving the project milestones as well as the next steps for 2023. A central part of the meeting was the selection of five new cases, free of charge through the Open Call launched in December 2022. 

BIOMAC in a nutshell 

BIOMAC is an Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) of 17 pilot plants across Europe boosting production of innovative biobased and nanomaterial platform chemicals. The project, financed by the EU Horizon 2020 programme, was launched in January 2021 and will end in December 2024. Within BIOMAC, European Bioplastics is responsible for standardization and regulation. The ultimate goal of BIOMAC is to industrialise a new generation of nano-enabled biobased materials.
