Circularity by Alternative Feedstock
Circularity by Alternative Feedstock
The concept of Circularity by Alternative Feedstock aims to incorporate alternative raw materials in the production of plastics, including materials that contain waste or by-products from other sectors and processes.
Technical-Scientific Objectives
The activities to be carried out within the scope of Circularity by Alternative Feedstock will contribute to address the research/innovation challenges related to plastics based on sustainable alternative raw materials. These materials can be derived from biomass waste, agricultural industries, as well as plastic waste sources.
- Development of biodegradable materials based on the valorization of food waste and biomass;
- Development of sustainable materials from agroforestry by-products;
- Development of sustainable functional additives.
