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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
