The solutions developed focus on sustainable alternatives for food packaging and agricultural plastics.
The new prototypes include:
- Packaging board reinforced with plant fibres recovered from greenhouse biomass, such as tomato and cucumber stems.
- Liquid mulch for agricultural applications.
- Fish gelatin film for packaging uses.
- Mycelium-based composites.
These prototypes demonstrate the potential of renewable raw materials to reduce dependence on fossil-based plastics while creating new value from agricultural side streams.
