Training Materials

These are the slides of the event "Biodegradation: one concept, many environments" held by Normec OWS on 24 May 2024, in which we learnt what biodegradation encompasses within the bioplastics value chain. 

This is the third part of the training materials from the PRESERVE event "Safe and Sustainable by Design Framework: SSbD implementation in PRESERVE" held by ITENE on 30 April 2024.

This presentation by Willem Uyttendaele (Centexbel) for the MIX-UP project guest lecture delves into the exploration of bioplastic multilayers, where the project investigated the feasibility of utilizing biobased materials like PLA and BIOPET for packaging while ensuring recyclability and barrier properties.

This presentation by Teresa Calvo (ITENE) focuses on the advances made in the PRESERVE project to avoid microplastics release in recycled textiles. 

In this infographic, the three sibling projects UPLIFT, uppE-T and PRESERVE present the benefits of upcycling. 

In this infographic, European Bioplastics has summarised the state of the legislations related to plastic packaging in the EU. It covers plastics, food contact, waste, packaging and packaging waste, sustainable products, and environmental footprint. 

In this poster, the authors Erik Sauter, Mara Strenger, Corina Reichert, Max Sturm & Markus Schmid (Sustainable Packaging Institute SPI, Faculty of Life Sciences, Albstadt-Sigmaringen University), present the nanoscale surface hydrophobization of whey protein based films that is being used in the PRESERVE project. 

This ASU poster presents the research expertise they are sharing within the PRESERVE project. They present the Sustainable Packaging Institute, part of the faculty of Life Sciences. The authors are Erik Sauter, Mara Strenger & Markus Schmid.
