LApure

With LApure, we're working on the sustainable production and recycling of lactic acid, the building block of the bioplastic PLA. By reusing residual flows and used PLA, we're moving towards a truly circular and cost-efficient bioplastics supply chain.

Fibre Save

Fibre Save converts low-grade paper and cardboard waste streams into PHB, a biobased plastic, and turns waste fibres into sustainable biobased plastics using innovative fermentation technologies. In this way, it contributes to a circular economy, reduces CO₂ emissions, and promotes the use of fossil-free materials.

ECOPRO

ECOPRO develops biobased, biodegradable colorants that are recyclable and compostable. This contributes to a sustainable alternative to current fossil-based variants and supports the transition toward a circular plastics industry.

BioColEol

How can we make textiles and packaging circular and sustainable without compromising on color and quality? The BioColEol project develops bio-based colorants that are recyclable, compostable, and safer for both humans and the environment.

WheyNot?

The WheyNot project investigates how whey permeate — a residual byproduct of milk processing — can be upgraded into a valuable biobased feedstock for the chemical industry.

Sustainable alternatives for disposable materials in the biomedical sector

Can conventional, fossil-based plastics – such as polystyrene – be replaced by biobased alternatives without compromising functionality? This question lies at the heart of the project.

Feeding Refineries

Research into where and how much agricultural waste is available in Europe for bioplastic production. We map opportunities and bottlenecks, build scenarios, and develop a predictive model to determine optimal refinery locations. In this way, FeedingRefineries supports the development of a sustainable and efficient biomass supply chain.

HySUCCES

Research to explore the level of support for the hydrogen transition. The objective is to outline the socioeconomic factors shaping green hydrogen’s role in a renewable energy system.
