The first Usable Packaging project newsletter is available online. The newsletter aims to keep everyone interested up-to-date with the project’s progress.
Launched in June 2019 in Valencia, Spain, the Usable Packaging project aims to develop a portfolio of new bio-based, compostable packaging materials for application in the food, clothing and pharmaceutical industries. The core objective of the three-year project, funded by the EU and governed by the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI-JU) as part of the EU Horizon 2020 programme (under grant agreement 836884), is to dramatically reduce the use of environmentally-harmful fossil-fuel-based packaging by developing high performance bio-alternatives with adequate packaging properties.
Bio-Mi is a proud member of this consortium that gathers 25 partners representing businesses, universities, research centres, trade associations and other organisations from all over Europe. Early achievements of the project are available in this issue, with interactive materials on the project’s objectives and partners.
