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 ...

Development of sustainable protein-based paper and paperboard coating systems to increase the recyclability of food and beverage packaging materials (BIO-BOARD)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
Worldwide about 7 million tonnes of coated paper, paperboard and cardboard (cartons) are currently manufactured annually mainly for food and beverage packaging. The standard coating material currently used is petrochemical-based polyethylene (PE). Typical laminate packaging contains about 20% of this material. Increased political, legislative and consumer pressure to reduce the dependency on fossi ...

Study of recyclability of printed or laminated plastic packaging films using supercritical C02 technologies (CLIPP)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"This project aims to promote the “valuable recycling resource” concept for industrial painted and laminated packages (injected parts and extruded films), nowadays considered as a problem, promoting their recycling in the original application (closed loop cycle) and minimizing the environmental risks and impacts. The CLIPP Recycling System for printed and laminated plastic fraction, will contribut ...

Whey protein-coated plastic films to replace expensive polymers and increase recyclability (WHEYLAYER)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
"In the food industry, the oxidation of fats, oils, and other food components produces off-flavours, off-colours and nutrient loss. Protection against oxygen is a vital requirement of food packaging. Common synthetic polyolefin films such as PE and PP are excellent moisture barriers, but must be coated or laminated with synthetic polymers including EVOH and PVDC copolymers to provide an oxygen bar ...
