Event - Upcycling strategies for the production of sustainable (bio)plastics

Plastic is the most used material for packaging but it is also highly harmful to the environment. That is why bioplastics represent the future for the packaging industry, which needs to adopt green practices to reduce their impact on the environment. 

For this reason, the Horizon Results Booster has chosen to help a cluster of projects to help share the potential of their innovative solutions in the bioplastics value chain. 

The Bio4Plastics group has the potential to deliver integrated solutions, from organic waste (REWIND) to the production of food packaging (PRESERVE) and the production of biodegradable plastic (upPE-T). In addition, the projects taken together cover each stage of the biopolymers production chain, complying with the European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy.

To showcase the results, the three projects have organized the event "Upcycling strategies for the production of sustainable (bio)plastics" to be held next 14 June 2023 online. Registrations are open here.
