EU project demos using brewery waste for bioplastics to use in packaging
In Germany, the EU funded BioSupPack project has successfully demonstrated that brewery waste can be transformed into high-performance bioplastics for sustainable packaging. Over five years, the consortium has developed and validated innovative polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA and PHB) materials and production processes that offer viable alternatives to fossil-based plastics while supporting compliance with the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
The BioSupPack project concludes its activities today with an online event, bringing together 18 high-level organisations across the PHA- and PHB-based bioplastics supply chain. The project has been funded by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU, formerly BBI JU) with 7.6 million euros under the European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant Agreement No. 101023685). The 18 partners have joined forces under the coordination of AIMPLAS, the Plastics Technology Centre based in Valencia, Spain.
