Optimised moulded pulp for renewable packaging solutions
Optimised moulded pulp for renewable packaging solutions
Project PULPACKTION will develop cellulose-based packaging solutions for the specific demands of the food and electronic packaging industries, reducing dependence on non-renewable fossil fuel-based plastics.
The PULPACKTION project will take advantage of the flexibility in wet-moulding production of wood pulp based materials. Different types of wood pulp additivated with biopolymers and other bio-based compounds in order to tailor the final properties of the resulting wet-moulded materials.
To fulfil barrier properties required for PULPACKTION’s specific packaging applications using a fully bio-based approach, new bio-based polymer blends will be developed for being processed into multilayer films, composites and coatings that will deliver 100% bio-based integral packaging with similar properties to existing fossil-based packaging. Additionally, a 100% biobased inks together with a specific QR codes will be used for implementing a fully traceability system.
