The grant will support formulation and demonstration of Ecohelix’s Woodmer initiative, which aims to use a wood-based packaging alternative to fossil- and food-derived polymers as well as PFAS. Ecohelix is collaborating with three unspecified European commercial partners from Sweden, Italy, and Finland.
“This collaborative approach will be vital for the future replication and scaling of our technology across Europe and beyond,” Ecohelix tells Packaging Insights. “This EU LIFE funding underscores the potential of Ecohelix’s technology to address critical sustainability challenges and aligns perfectly with the EU Green Deal’s objectives. We look forward to sharing our progress and achievements as the LIFE Woodmer project unfolds.”
