Did you know that global bioplastics production capacity is expected to increase from 2.18 million tonnes in 2023 to 7.43 million tonnes in 2028?
MoeBIOS aims to transform this challenge into an opportunity. MoeBIOS is the new project funded by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) (grant number 101157652) and coordinated by ITENE, by Miriam Lorenzo Navarro.
According to Miriam Lorenzo Navarro, “MoeBIOS was born to establish circular and sustainable value chains for bioplastics that will be found in packaging, textile and agriculture waste streams: this will involve bioplastic collection and sorting, recycling with the most efficient techniques and further upcycling into added-value products. MoeBIOS will accompany and support the expected growth of bioplastics in the market by providing effective and upscaled end-of-life solutions.”
In the next 4 years, MoeBIOS will demonstrate novel recycling routes for bioplastics waste streams (in short BIOs) along the end-of-life within three value chains, towards new upcycled high-value products. The chosen value changes are the textile, the packaging and the agricultural sectors.
To achieve these goals 21 partners and 2 affiliated organisations have teamed up to develop solutions for managing bioplastics streams, recycling and upcycling waste into valuable products, and ensuring a sustainable future for these materials. Partners come from different backgrounds and areas of operations: from sorting, to recyclers, to material producers, experts in communication, engagement and standardization. These two-day kick off </
