Novel Bioplastics Applications: Design Breakthroughs & Recycling Pathways

Novel Bioplastics Applications: Design Breakthroughs & Recycling Pathways

European Bioplastics organised a Workshop entitled Novel Bioplastics Applications: Design Breakthroughs & Recycling Pathways on 10 October at the K fair. The workshop brought together bioplastics projects and industry players. Applications and recycling solutions were presented by ReBioCycle, MoeBIOS, PROSPER, TERRIFIC, REPurpose, and BioSupPack. You can take a look at their materials and presentations below:

14:30–14:40 | Welcome and Introduction

14:40–15:15| Project Pitches: Innovations in Bioplastics

Focus: Goals, expected innovations, mock-ups/demonstrators, and opportunities for collaboration.

Innovative biobased and biodegradable products

  • BioSupPack demonstrators: Víctor Sevilla (AIMPLAS) and Lorena Rodríguez (GPI)
  • TERRIFIC prototypes: Alberto Castellanza (NOVAMONT)
  • REPurpose mockups: Hanaa Dahy (Aalborg University)

How can we recycle them?

  • Carmen Sánchez (ITENE)/MoeBIOS
  • Kevin O’Connor (BiOrbic, University College Dublin)/ReBioCycle
  • Wouter Post (Wageningen University & Research)/PROSPER
  • Perspective of ALIA recycler: Plastic Packaging Recovery from the Prato Textile District, with Francesco Baldi (ALIA)/MoeBIOS

15:15–16:30| Speed Networking: Connecting Research and Industry (Coffee will be served during this timeslot.)

Format: The participants will move to the seven high table to talk to the speaker assigned to each table. It is a matchmaking opportunity!

1. Group on Innovative Products & Applications
