AIMPLAS is leading the BIOnTop project, whose objective is to develop new, competitive, low-cost, recyclable packaging solutions designed to be mechanically recycled, compostable either industrially or at home, or suitable for anaerobic digestion.
In the first year of the project’s four-year development period, the project partners started experimental work on copolymers and compounds with customized biodegradability and multifunctional coating solutions with customized properties. Although these tasks are currently ongoing, the first trials have shown promising results.
Another task performed in this first year was defining the specifications for PLA-based products with customized end of life and properties. Two technical deliverables and one scientific paper have been published with these initial project results.
All three documents are accessible through the project website. The paper is also available on the journal website.
The project has been funded through the “Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking” within the EU Research and Innovation programme Horizon 2020 under grant agreement 837761, in which 20 partners and AIMPLAS are taking part:
