BioSupPack
Demonstrative process for the production and enzymatic recycling of environmentally safe, superior and versatile PHA-based rigid packaging solutions by plasma integration in the value chain
Expected results
Deliver novel, cost-competitive and versatile bio-based packaging solutions based on PHA, that demonstrate high-performance for the packaging of food, cosmetics, homecare and beverage products as well as no environmental damage during & after their use, by means of:
- Optimization of PHA based formulations based on significantly use of >85% w/w of renewable resources.
- Upscale the different conversion processes as well as post-consumers waste sorting and recycling following advanced industry 4.0 approach.
- Broad the range of rigid packaging applications by tailoring biobased materials & packaging properties through the optimization of the formulations in combination with plasma technology or grafted coatings.
- Integrate plasma technology in three different points of the value chain (e.g., biomasss pre-treatment, packaging production and packaging waste pre-treatment) by increasing PHB production yield, PHB purity, packaging performance (high oxygen and water barrier) and effectiveness and yield of enzymatic re
