On 22 February 2021, in partnership with Euramaterials, BBIA hosted a webinar in French about the Usable Packaging project. Funded by the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking as part of the EU Horizon 2020 programme, the project aims to significantly reduce the use of fossil-based, environmentally harmful packaging by developing a bio-alternative derived from food industry by-products and food waste.
BBIA IN PARTNERSHIO WITH EURAMATERIALS
The Usable Packaging project, funded by the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking as part of the EU Horizon 2020 programme, aims to significantly reduce the use of fossil-based, environmentally harmful packaging by developing a bio-alternative derived from food industry by-products and food waste.
Crucially, this bioplastic , at the end of its life, can be recycled and used to produce the next generation of bio-based packaging materials – creating a perfect bio-based, circular economy model for the plastics sector.
As we reach mid-term in the three-year project launched in June 2019, the French partners presented the latest developments in a webinar in February 2021.
Hosted by BBIA in partnership with Euramaterials, the webinar included the following series of speakers:
- Frédéric Merle, Euramaterials – An introduction to the Usable Packaging project
- Valérie Guillard, University of Montpellier – The scientific aspects of the projects and the alternatives to fight against plastic pollution
- Pascal Mélois, Sphere Distribution – The need for new materials for the packaging industry
- Stéphane Merlet, Fleury-Michon – Effects on relations with consumers
The webinar presentations are available for download below. Please note that the presentations are in French.
