Description du projet
Nouvelles solutions de bio-emballage à base de polyesters naturels
La réduction des déchets plastiques constitue une priorité pour l’UE. La majorité des déchets d’emballages en plastique étant actuellement mise en décharge, de nouveaux objectifs ont été fixés pour porter les taux de recyclage à 55 % d’ici 2030. Dans cette optique, le projet BioSupPack, financé par l’UE, met à l’échelle de nouvelles solutions d’emballage rigides, économiquement viables et très performantes, basées sur les polyhydroxyalcanoates (PHA), qui sont des polyesters produits dans la nature par de nombreux micro-organismes. Les PHA sont également recyclables et valorisables. À ce titre, BioSupPack contribuera à la création d’un nouveau bio-cluster (chaîne de valeur) reliant les secteurs de l’agroalimentaire, des bio-plastiques, de la pâte à papier et du papier, et de l’emballage. Le projet testera en particulier l’utilisation de sous-produits de l’industrie brassicole (drêche) en tant que matière première de fermentation pour la production de PHA.
Objectif
BioSupPBioSupPack goal is to deliver novel, cost-competitive and versatile bio-based packaging solutions based on PHA, that demonstrate high-performance for the packaging of food, cosmetics, homecare and beverage products as well as no environmental damage during & after their use, by means of:
1. Optimization of PHA based formulations based on significantly use of >85% w/w of renewable resources.
2. Upscale the different conversion processes as well as post-consumers waste sorting & recycling following advanced industry 4.0 approach.
3. Broad the range of rigid packaging applications by tailoring biobased materials & packaging properties through the optimization of the formulations in combination with plasma technology or grafted coatings.
4. Integrate plasma technology in 3 different points of the value chain(biomasss pre-treatment, packaging production & packaging waste pre-treatment) increasing: i)PHB production yield, ii)PHB purity, iii) packaging performance(high oxygen & water barrier) and iv effectiveness & yield of enzymatic recycling.
5. Demonstrate and increase recyclability through:i) setting up a real-time monitoring system for the selective separation of developed packaging after its use; ii) mechanical recycling of industrial scraps and selective enzymatic recycling of packaging waste as the best EoL, with the final recovery of carbon sources for feedstock fermentation. Thus, the new packaging is environmentally safe(sustainable and improved value from enzymatic recycling) and contributes to Circular Economy(CE).
6. Establish a new value chain including the development of logistics and management of both the brewery and packaging waste.
Complying with the industry needs (cost/performance competitive vs. fossil-based non-biodegradable counterparts and legislative compliance),as well as with consumers´ awareness, BioSupPack will have a great impact on EU bioplastics & end users’ sectors, the biorefineries and biotechnology industries and on the society.
