Objective
Waste management and preservation of resources are one of the main challenges in Europe. It is the intention of this project to use the special properties of the natural resin shellac for the creation of new eco-friendly and biodegradable packaging materials mainly for the food sector. Nowadays, recycling of packackingmaterials is costly because they do not exist of natural materials. Alternatives like materials derived from starch are biodegradable but show only little stability. Hence, it is the intention of the project : To create a proper formulation with shellac as main component for coating or impregnation of packaging materials/To identify suitable other compounds for the formulation/To identify suitable substrate materials /To test the properties of the new packaging material (stability, harmlessness, residue analysis, biodegradability, etc.) and finally to create a new bridgeable packaging material originated completely from renewable resources.
