Objective BIOCOMPLACK is a biobased, biodegradable and compostable food packaging with enhances barrier properties. BIOCOMPLACK is a food biopackaging with three main points of innovation: the use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), the multilayer structure and the PLA biopolymer reinforced with organoclays which contain natural food preservatives. These three innovations will enhance the barrier properties to oxygen (more than 100 times compared with common biopackaging) and water vapour as well as will improve the shelf-life of food. BIOCOMPLACK is an alternative to common bio-packaging products that enhances 300% the shelf-life of food.This international project is born in a consortium integrated by two large enterprises (Sapici and Goglio), two small-medium enterprises (SMEs) (NaturePlast and Tecnopackaging) and a research institution (Packlab, University of Milan) from four different countries which together cover the supply chain of the food packaging industry.BIOCOMPLACK will have strong impact in the society and in the environment. BIOCOMPLACK will be an eco-friendly packaging from natural renewable sources instead of fossil fuels, will reduce the plastic packaging waste thanks to its biodegradability in the nature and will generate at the end of its useful life an added value product, the compost (to improve the quality of soils and provide nutrients). Our BIOCOMPLACK solution will provide a loop cycle of sustainability.European Union will be also impacted by BIOCOMPLACK because it will make a substantial contribution to innovation in the European economy, will reduce the import of biopackaging from outside the EU and we will export at international level.This consortium will also be benefited by bringing into the market the BIOCOMPLACK food packaging in 36 months. The profitability of the project presents for the first 5 years a ROI of 2.47 and the pay-back of the project will be achieved after 2 years and 9 months after the beginning of the commercialization Fields of science engineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringwaste managementwaste treatment processesrecyclingengineering and technologyindustrial biotechnologybiomaterialsbioplasticspolylactic acidengineering and technologyenvironmental biotechnologybioremediationcompostengineering and technologynanotechnologynano-materialsnanocrystalsengineering and technologyother engineering and technologiesfood technologyfood packaging Programme(s) H2020-EC - Horizon 2020 Framework Programme Main Programme H2020-EU.3. - PRIORITY 'Societal challenges H2020-EU.2. - PRIORITY 'Industrial leadership' Topic(s) FTIPilot-1-2015 - Fast Track to Innovation Pilot Call for proposal H2020-FTIPilot-2015-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme IA - Innovation action Coordinator SOCIETA AZIONARIA PER L INDUSTRIA CHIMICA ITALIANA SAPICI SPA Net EU contribution € 608 562,50 Address VIA TELESIO BERNARDINO 2 20145 Milano Italy See on map Region Nord-Ovest Lombardia Milano Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 869 375,00 Participants (5) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all NATUREPLAST France Net EU contribution € 249 025,00 Address RUE ADA LOVELACE 6 14120 Mondeville See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
