BioSupPack aims to deliver versatile and competitive bio-based packaging solutions based on PHA suitable for food, cosmetics, homecare and beverage sectors utilizations and to establish a new value chain including the development of logistics and management of both brewery and packaging waste
Renewable resources
Increase the use of renewable resources (beer spent grains) for PHA formulations up to >85%
PHA-based rigid packaging
Crafting highly-performing PHA-based rigid packaging with properties similar to those of conventional petrochemical plastics present in the market
Upscale the production
Upscale the production of new PHA-based products to demostration level
Plasma technology
Integration of plasma technology throughout the value chain for the pre-treatment of brew spent grains, packaging treatment and finally, for the pre-treatment of packaging waste
Sort BioSupPack waste
Development of a system able to identify and sort BioSupPack waste (>90% of BioSupPack materials identified)
BioSupPack recyclability
Ensuring BioSupPack recyclability. Mechanical and enzymatic recycling processes to reintroduce materials in the production step and/or recover carbon sources for the fermentation process (>30% carbon source supply)
Acceptance of the new BioSupPack products
Demonstrate end-user validation and acceptance of the new BioSupPack products
Value chain
Creation of the new value chain by managing both brewery and packaging waste flows
EU-standards compliance
Sustainability and EU-standards compliance assessment
Maximisation of impact
Maximisation of impact after the end of the project by exploiting results
