Valorisation of mushroom agrowastes to obtain high value products (FUNGUSCHAIN)
Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2020,
The project aims at the valorization of agricultural residues coming from mushroom (Agaricus Bisporus) farming residues as a case to set up new cascading possibilities using innovative procedures to extract high value bio-based additives (antioxidants, antimicrobials, proteins), convert lipids into bioplasticizers and polysaccharides (glucans and fermentable sugars) into biopolymers using remainin ...

Optimised moulded pulp for renewable packaging solutions (PULPACKTION)
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2020,
The aim of PULPACKTION project is to develop cellulose-based tailored-to-purpose packaging solutions for specific food and electronic packaging applications which needs medium and high barrier requirement’s and that nowadays are packing in polymer fossil based solutions. This innovation will take advantage of the flexibility in the wet-moulding production of wood pulp based materials. Different ty ...

REsources from URban BIo-waSte (RES URBIS)
Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2019,
RES URBIS aims at making it possible to convert several types of urban bio-waste into valuable bio-based products, in an integrated single biowaste biorefinery and by using one main technology chain. This goal will be pursued through: - collection and analysis of data on urban bio-waste production and present management systems in four territorial clusters that have been selected in different cou ...

High quality methylal from non-recyclable plastic waste by an improved Catalytic Hydro-Gasification Plasma(CHGP) process (LIFE ECOMETHYLAL)
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2019,
Background
According to Plastics Europe 9.6 million tonnes of post-consumer plastic waste was disposed in European landfills in 2012. This number accounts for 38.1% of the total post-consumer plastic waste generated. Depositing plastic in landfills is a very inefficient use of resources. Though the trend in recent years has been for less landfilled plasti ...

High performance biomass extracted functional hybrid polymer coatings for food, cosmetic and medical device packaging (HYPERBIOCOAT)
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2019,
Today, fresh food as well as convenience food is sold in packages. Hygienic conditions, long shelf life and easy availability of these packed products account for our standard of living. However, this convenience contributes in a significant way to environmental pollution, as packaging is mainly achieved by plastic materials in this case. Biodegradable packaging materials have been on the market f ...
