New processes to improve properties of bioplastics for packaging applications
In this context, the BIOPROCESS project, led by Aimplas, aims to improve the mechanical and barrier properties of bioplastics to produce films for high-performance flexible packaging in sectors such as food, cosmetics and personal hygiene, detergents, and cleaning. The research involves two collaborating companies: Potato Bioplastics, a manufacturer of new bioplastics from renewable sources, and Gaviplas, a flexible film manufacturer.
