Advanced cellulose packaging (ADCELLPACK)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
The use of bio-based materials is a promising alternative in the packaging industry to reduce the disposal and the use of non-renewable resources. A 5% substitution of these materials using Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) applications would reduce over 300.000 tons of non renewable plastic packaging wastes disposal. Packaging used in MAP is usually based on multilayer plastic materials that ar ...
