Resumen: |
|
|
Desarrollo y validación de nuevos procesos enzimáticos y microbianos para el uso sostenible de plásticos en aplicaciones de envasado de alimentos y bebidas. |

Objetivos: |
|
|
The overall idea of UPLIFT is to biologically depolymerize bio- and fossil-based plastic packaging waste and convert it into more renewable and easily upcyclable polymers, following a biorefinery approach. UPLIFT will address the full plastic packaging value chain, from monomer production to packaging material manufacturing and back to Eol reusing and recycling options. |

Acciones: |
|
|
The vision of the project revolves around two main axes: To combine bio-depolymerization of plastics and bio-based building blocks to obtain smarter and renewable plastic materials, which will enable the effective upcycling of plastic packaging waste streams. To fully integrate the bio-chemical upcycling technologies within already existing and more mature recycling processes and fermentation processes. All these prototype materials and processes will be tested in a relevant operational scale close to excected performance. |

Resultados: |
|
|
Contribution to upcycle F&D packaging materials which account for, at least, 60% of the market by 2030: • Novel standards and certification schemes to be applied. • Delivery of novel plastic packaging solutions with less environmental impact. • Contribution to bring the European plastic packaging industry in the forefront of innovations and sustainability worldwide. |
