Bioplastic Recycling Challenges Gaps and Future Opportunities - PRESERVE event

Discover the incredible potential and opportunities around bioplastic recycling at our upcoming event: Bioplastic Recycling: Challenges, Gaps, and Future Opportunities - taking place on the 25th of June 2024.
The PRESERVE project is focused on innovative development of bio-based food packaging, through enhanced bio-coatings to improve recyclability, while also ensuring these materials can be upcycled for a range of applications, including textiles and non-food utilisations. PRESERVE is developing a range of packaging items that are 100% based on renewable resources, promoting minimal environmental impact and encouraging recycling and a circular economy.
Recognising the need for proper recycling infrastructure, PRESERVE has facilitated a forum where industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers can present contemporary challenges related to the transition to bioplastic, and examine the extent to which they relate to gaps in recycling infrastructure.
Our experts will dive into key topics, including the delamination of multilayers for recycling, and the potential of using self- and micro-fibrillated technologies for mechanical reprocessing of (bio)polymers. Explore a roadmap to 2030 for sustainable bio-packaging, as well as policy gaps in bioplastic recycling and upcycling. We will also look at industry challenges for transitioning to bio-based plastics, and introduce the benefits of the Circular Plastic Helix on the Crowdhelix Platform for impact acceleration and future collaboration.
If you are interested in more collaboration opportunities in the Circular Plastic field, join our Circular Plastic Helix which comprises 704 experts from 257 organisations across 47 countries.

PRESERVE is a European research project that develops solutions to improve the recyclability of food packaging. The 4-year project started in January 2021 and is committed to developing bio-based food packaging by enhancing bio-coatings in order to improve packaging recyclability. At the same time, PRESERVE makes sure that these materials can be upcycled into new containers and textiles for non-food applications. The project will work to develop 10 common packaging items that are based on renewable resources with a minimal environmental impact and improved recyclability in order to easily reintroduce the materials in a circular economy.
PRESERVE - High performance sustainable bio-based packaging with tailored end of life and upcycled secondary use
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 952983.
