Our objectives
are clear
Improve circularity
Improve circularity and resource efficiency via the practical application of the circular bioeconomy concept in the biobased and biodegradable plastics value chain.
Scale up sorting and recycling technologies
Scale up effective sorting and recycling schemes for biobased and biodegradable plastic materials.
Increase the recycled content of bioplastics
Increase the recycled content in new products from biobased and biodegradable plastics.
Improve environmental performance
Improve the environmental performance across the value chain against fossil or biobased benchmarks.
Achieve social acceptance of bioplastics
Achieve better social acceptance of circular biobased solutions and products.
