Research and Innovation Projects Events European Bioplastics (EUBP) coordinates projects events to disseminate their findings and explore innovative solutions within the bioplastics industry. These events provide a platform for researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to exchange knowledge, showcase advancements, and foster collaboration. Our current project activities in H2020 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
ReBioCycle is an Innovation Action funded by the Circular Bio-based Joint Undertaking (JU): the project kick off took place in October in Dublin, hosted by the coordinator, Kevin O’Connor, who is professor at the University College Dublin and Director of BiOrbic. The challenges that ReBioCycle will address in the next four years of work [...]
Berlin, 2 October 2024 – The new EU funded ReBioCycle project provides a portfolio of bioplastic sorting and recycling technologies within three complementary waste-processor-centric hubs. These hubs will be established for different technologies and technology readiness levels (TRL) in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and partly in Ireland. They will be focusing on mechanical recycling, [...]
