Valorisation of legumes co-products and by-products for package application and energy production from biomass (LEGUVAL)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
LEGUVAL targets the use of co-products and by-products of processed legumes production for valorisation by extraction of the protein fraction and use of the leftover biomass as additives in composites production and as a source of biogas by anaerobic digestion. Multiple benefits will be gained by these approaches for plastics producers since proteins are biodegradable raw materials suitable for me ...

Continuous, highly precise, metal-free polymerisation of PLA using alternative energies for reactive extrusion (InnoREX)
Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,
The demand for biobased polymers is growing fast. According to the current state of the art, metal-containing catalysts are needed to improve the polymerisation rate of lactones, posing a hazard to health and the environment. InnoREX will develop a novel reactor concept using alternative energies for the continuous, highly precise, metal-free polymerisation of PLA.In InnoREX, metal-containing cata ...

Development of processes and quality procedures for the valorisation of recycled plastics for food contact applications (SUPERCLEANQ)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,
The goals of the SuperCleanQ project are to develop quality control and quality assurance tools and procedures for plastics recycling processes targeted at food contact applications to enable SMEs to conform to Commission Regulation EC 282/2008 on recycled plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foods. Thetools will be applied to a new process for the recycling of coloure ...

New manufacturing infrastructure for the production of high quality Natural Fibres (UltraFibre)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
Natural fibres offer a route to the production of sustainable composites, replacing inorganic and petrochemical based fibres with high-embodied energy. One of the main obstacles to the exploitation of natural fibres is the limited consistency of supply, with batch-to-batch variations in quality. Retting – a process whereby plant stems are left to weather in the fields – has been identified as bein ...
