MoeBIOS
Improving waste management of biobased plastics and the upcycling in packaging, textile and agriculture sectors
Expected results:
MoeBIOS will work on improving the recycling technologies for biodegradable bioplastics deriving from textiles, agriculture and packaging applications. MoeBIOS will focus also on the collection and sorting of the bioplastic waste (simulated streams) and offer 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: From 1 June 2024 – 30 May 2028

Recycling technologies for bioplastics: What is next? Side Event to the EBC24 on the 9 December 2024
As the bioplastics market grows, it is essential to address the issue of recycling biodegradable bioplastics and to study their most effective recycling pathways, to be able to manage bioplastic products at their end of life. Bioplastic waste does not yet constitute a relevant amount of the total plastic waste (being only 1% in weight). In the past years, several projects, BioSupPack is one of them, have been funded by the Horizon Programme for Research and Innovation and the Circular Bio-based Europe (CBE) Joint Undertaking […]
EUBP Talk Series Wrap Up
On 16 October 2024, we celebrated the wrap up of the EUBP Talk series on Alternative Feedstock with a live event in Brussels: Alternative feedstock for biobased plastics: bridging the gap between research and market. As the title suggests, we brought together research and innovation experts from academia and industry together with EU policymakers and other key stakeholders.
On the first panel we focused on the latest key results in research and innovation in the field by EU –funded project experts (MoeBIOS, BioSupPack, PERCAL, CAFIPLA and LUCRA) followed by a panel discussion […]
New White Paper on Upcycling Food and Drink Packaging Released by EU Projects, coordinated by European Bioplastics
A new white paper, “Upcycling Food and Drink Packaging: How EU-Funded Research Transforms Waste into Sustainable Solutions,” was released on 30 September 2024 through a collaboration of five EU-funded projects: PRESERVE, BioSupPack MoeBIOS (EUBP is a partner in all three), UPLIFT and upPE-T. The paper, coordinated by European Bioplastics, explores innovative solutions to tackle food and drink packaging waste by upcycling materials into new, improved products. It also provides targeted policy recommendations to advance circular packaging solutions in the European Union.

MoeBIOS kicking off at ITENE: Improving waste management of biobased plastics and the upcycling in packaging, textile, and agriculture sectors
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
New R&D project on waste management and upcycling project kicking off in June 2024
MoeBIOS is a new R&D project funded by the European Union through the Circular Biobased Europe Joint Undertaking focusing on the improvement of waste management of biobased plastics and on the upcycling in packaging, textile and agriculture sectors. The project will kick off in June 2024 under the lead of ITENE and with 21 partners spread across Europe.
MoeBIOS will test new ways of recycling biobased plastics and of increasing sorting and recycled content. The project will create linkages at the different key stages of the whole chain of waste management from the collection of […]
European Bioplastics to support two new research and innovation projects
Two new projects funded by Horizon Europe through the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking, MoeBIOS and ReBioCycle, have been recently approved, and European Bioplastics is proud to be on board! Both projects were set up to respond to the challenges of the call on “Recycling bio-based plastics increasing sorting and recycled content (upcycling)” (HORIZON-JU-CBE-2023-IA-04 ). Several members of EUBP are also involved in them as a partner. Congratulations to Novamont, TotalEnergies Corbion, AIMPLAS and to us, European Bioplastics, for these successful initiatives. European Bioplastics will be mostly involved in the […]
