GRECO aims to demonstrate the life cycle and techno-economic feasibility of greener and safer bioplastics value chains for the food packaging sector, based on a safe and sustainable-by-design strategy. The GRECO project kick-off will take place in Valencia at Aimplas on 16-17 June 2025. European Bioplastics and its members, including TotalEnergies Corbion, Aimplas, and Innotech Coexpan-Emsur, are among the 22 partners that have joined forces to develop and implement \u201cInnovative biobased, biodegradable, recyclable, safe, and circular food packaging\u201d under the lead of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH).<\/p>\n<p>Novel PLA copolymers will be developed and optimised with the modelling tools to drive the design of the polymers to improve the biodegradability, performance, production rates, yield, and quality in an iterative strategy. GRECO will work on different end-of-life (EoL) scenarios, including testing the recyclability of the biobased polymers and materials with mechanical and chemical recycling (both in open and in closed-loop systems). Innovative recycling technologies will also be used on post-consumer plastic packaging approved for food contact and deliver decontaminated recycled-biobased polyesters.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, a biodegradability assessment will be performed for aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation. The biodegradability of the developed materials will be tested in marine, water, and soil environments. The materials will also be tested for industrial composting conditions and home composting. The certification bodies T\u00dcV AUSTRIA Belgium and DIN CERTCO will benefit from the results of biodegradability testing in open environments and use the inputs to plan changes and revisions in their certification schemes. The consortium will also collect and analyse qualitative and quantitative data on consumer needs and their perceptions to ascertain how GRECO products align with the perceptions of consumers and their related values, such as sustainability, usability, and accessibility.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recycling-magazine.com\/2025\/05\/07\/project-on-greener-and-safer-bioplastics-for-food-packaging\/\">Recycling Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-708\/\">Project on greener and safer bioplastics for food packaging<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[7630,575,762,18737],"class_list":["post-139477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bioplastics","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-food-packaging","tag-greco"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139477\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
