Reduce, Reuse, Rethink PACKaging: towards novel fiber-based packaging and reuse schemes uptake

Leistungen

R3PACK Business Plan will be produced as a conclusion in task 7.3 : As a whole, the final project business plan will be produced, showing how profitable it can be for identified private partners and stakeholders to further invest into the project results and adopt them as widely marketed solutions. In order for partners to always have in mind the final market exploitation of their work, a first draft of the business plan will be available by M12 (D7.2) and updates of this deliverable will be available in M18, 24, 36. These deliverables will be public, as showing the project outcomes potential will be crucial in order to allow both the research community and the private stakeholders to take the project further. Based on T5.5 (RE)SET will develop an exploitation strategy to (a) Strengthen the connection of the consortium with other European and local projects and with key industrial partners to develop appropriate standards for interoperability of developed results, (b) Define and periodically review the project’s main business model and submodels and exploitation strategy; (c) Further analysis of the market and establishment of the impact of the results, (d) Establishment of the better strategies to manage the knowledge and overall outputs of the project, as well as IPR protection, according with the interest of the partners and previously stated in the Consortium Agreement. In addition, a replication roadmap leveraging the results of the demonstration activities to scale them up and replicate them with the active involvement of Carrefour, Systeme U and their white brand producers for other sectors (consumers’ goods, textile …) will be integrated into the Exploitation Strategy.

IPR Management Strategy and procedures

IPR and innovation activities will be continuously followed up throughout the project and based on the rules defined in the Consortium Agreement and in line with the FAIR principles. All new innovations in the project will be assessed in terms of IPR to see if special protections are needed. All the information related to the IPR will be compiled in a deliverable that will evolve during the lifetime of the project and represent faithfully the status of the project reflections on IPR management. The first version of this deliverable will be made available by (RE)SET at M12 (D1.2) and updates of this deliverable are planned in M24 and M36.

Progress Monitoring Reports

Progress Monitoring Reports Delivered for months 12, 24 and 36. Shows the progress of the project in a report PDF format. It includes the actions, deliverables, risk assessment and mitigation and financial reports. It is linked to the Task 1.1 and 1.2.

Auditing protocol for washing centers

Document describing the detailled steps to test the washing process for each type of reusable packaging, its use and associated products. Linked to the task 3.1 and 3.2.

Selection of suitable packaging for reuse for each product type

Selection of suitable packaging for reuse for each product type will be a direct result of the task 3.1. It will be a report showing the defining caracteristics (lid, material, size, format) and specifications of the reusable packaging for each product type. The objective of this task is to perform a selection of reusable packaging options relevant to the food product types covered by R3PACK. The selection will be performed (M1-M7) in close cooperation with brand owners and retailers, following as well the specifications provided in T2.1, and it will be based on materials, shapes, lid or closing systems and products to be included in the following steps of the analysis and optimization process. The selection will cover alternative materials, such as glass (sodocalcique vs borosilicate), Metal (inox), Plastics (PBT, Tritan, PP, PET, CPET) and closing systems as they are key to reuse and will be focused mainly on products that are not already covered by reuse systems in Europe and represented in the consortium: Prepared salads, bagged salads; unprocessed fruits, and vegetables; cold cuts; butter; cheese; yoghurt; savoury biscuits; chips; soups; Juices; Milk. The analysis will be based on the work that has already been done by CITEO and CETIE. The selection of the packaging options for each product will not be definitive and further assessed via de-risking (T3.5) as it will be further validated by testing their end of life, food safety and washability to validate their use (T3.2).

Communication, Dissemination, Exploitation and Awareness Rising plan - including DOMP

Communication, Dissemination, Exploitation andAwareness Rising plan - including DOMP is produced in T7.1 : This task will secure the development of Dissemination and communication strategy and materials, including: ● A complete and detailed actionable plan for dissemination & Exploitation together with appropriate communication activities (and monitoring KPI) - elaborated at M6 (D7.1);● The project visual identity and the dedicated project website - (RE)SET, M3;● Social networks to spread the project activities and results online (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube);● Keeping track of all project publications and public disclosures;● Informing all the partners of related events and conferences and participation to the most relevant ones (National events organised by (RE)SET in France, and by Carrefour in Belgium and Spain; an international EU-wide event organised in Brussels by SAFE; virtual roundtables, featuring project partners, consumers, industrials and policymakers; targeted citizens awareness campaigns);● All templates for external communications ensuring no patentable information is disclosed.All partners will creatively seek opportunities to disseminate the project results through their existing communication channels and participate actively to the project dissemination task force. R3PACK taylored guidelines addressed to consumers, policy makers and food-business operators, will be designed by SAFE allowing the communication of the core project outcomes in an accessible, direct and engaging way. Guidelines for staff training addressed to industrials will be designed by (RE)SET.

Decision-matrix based on materials, barrier combination and application performance evaluation

Decision-matrix based on materials, barriercombination and application performance evaluation that are performed from tasks 4.1 to 4.4.

Food safety protocol

Document describing the detailled steps to test the food safety for each type of reusable packaging, its use and associated products. Linked to the task 3.1 and 3.2.

Decision-support model for reuse logistic network design

Defining the optimal strategy to optimize the packaging reuse network environmentally and economically. This task aims at studying and prototyping the overall configuration of the reusable packaging system as a closed-loop logistic network through a novel and tailored location-allocation model developed by UniBo to aid the design of the network topology and the package flows allocation. The package materials, the package configurations and options designed normalized and tested at T3.3, further characterized by environmental impacts tallied at WP6 and consumers’ actions, expectations and requirements (from WP2), will be compared and selected through the model along with the optimal distribution and collection strategy using a commercial Linear or Mixed-Integer Programming Solver. The resulting solution in terms of optimal packaging options and related reuse strategies and logistic networks (D3.3) will feed WP5 for real-world validation and WP6 (T6.2), supporting the most relevant scenario building.

Framework for the demonstrator

Linked directly to the task 5.1 it allows to plan directly the demonstrator. Action Plan for REUSE: Following the scenarios designed by UniBo in T3.4, Retailers and industrial partners will select shops, washers, pooler and logistic centres that best support the demonstration activities. Shops selection criterias will be performed by Carrefour, Système U, supported by AU and will include shops over borders, shops in various areas (urban centers, rural, peri-urban), types of shops (bio, greater surface, small shop) and user types. Washers selection will be performed based on the washing method or product uses, the mapping performed in T3.2, and the distance to shops and distribution centres (from retailers such as Système U and Carrefour, and from industrial partners such as Altho, Sodiaal, etc.).Action Plan for SUBSTITUTION: The retailers and industrial partners will use a similar process to the one used for the REUSE scheme to select the shops for the substitution demonstration. They will firstly select the best substitution options to the test depending on the results of WP4 (choice of the most relevant solution per food packaging type) and then define the volumes to produce for each packaging type.
