Innovative fully biodegradable mulching films & fruit protection bags for sustainable agricultural practices (LIFE MULTIBIOSOL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Background For over half a century growers/farmers have been using plastic materials in agriculture, also known as agro-films. Current existing semi-intensive and intensive farming practices require the use of large quantities of mulching film and fruit protection bags (and clips to close them) since they help prevent the growth of weeds, protect crops fr ...

Novel technology to boost the European Bioeconomy: reducing the production costs of PHA biopolymer and expanding its applications as 100% compostable food packaging bioplastic (EUROPHA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Bioplastics like PHA are long-term sustainable alternatives because they can show equal performance to conventional petrochemical plastics, originate from renewable non-food resources and are 100% bio-degradable. Although PHA shows better performance than alternative bioplastics (PLA and starch), the market uptake of PHA biosplastics shows the following obstacles: 1) PHA is expensive (>4.5 €/kg), ...

DEVELOPMENT OF FLEXIBLE, SUSTAINABLE AND AUTOMATED PLATFORM FOR HIGH ACCURACY MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS IN MEDIUM AND LARGE COMPLEX COMPONENTS USING SPHERICAL ROBOT AND LASER TRACKER ON OVERHEAD CRANE (MEGAROB)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The main objective is to design a flexible and sustainable platform that automates high precision manufacturing operations in mid- and large sized parts or structures (typically from 10 meters long and above) and to develop a full scale demonstrator. The proposed system will consist in a conventional spherical robot mounted on a simple structure such as an overhead travelling crane, controlled by ...
