BIOPACKMAN:
BIODEGRADABLE PACKAGING MATERIALSADVANCING CIRCULARITY, SUSTAINABILITY& ECO-INNOVATION
Program: HORIZONTE EUROPE
Reference: 101178576
Date of RESOLUTION: 05/21/2025
Date of execution: 06/01/2025 – 05/31/2029
The BioPackMan project focuses on the design of new biodegradable polymeric materials. Its goal is to expand the possibilities of materials such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), poly(butylene succinate) and its copolymers (PBS, PBSA), as well as polylactic acid (PLA). From these, tailor-made compounds will be developed , with improved combined properties, capable of producing biodegradable and recyclable packaging that meets the needs of each application: mechanical resistance, heat stability, chemical resistance or gas barrier capacity.
These materials will be designed with specific structures to adapt to both flexible and rigid containers, applying the principle of considering biodegradation as a property of the system: from the choice of the material and the design of the container to its behavior under different disposal conditions, whether foreseen or not.
To improve their sustainability, natural additives such as cellulose nanofibers, nanolignin and plant extracts or food by-products will be incorporated, together with other additives and innovative technologies. All this will result in greener, fully biodegradable packaging that meets the requirements of today’s products.
The project will bring together the entire value chain – materials developers, manufacturers, formulators, packaging converters and end users – to generate at least four biodegradable polyester formulations, six sustainable additive systems and two innovative processing technologies. This will result in the creation of six sustainable packaging demonstrators targeting the food, home care and personal care sectors.
The major challenge is to achieve the same quality as traditional non-biodegradable packaging (PP, PE, PET), while ensuring safety and regulatory compliance. The aim is to demonstrate that biodegradable materials can be circular.
In short, BioPackMan proposes a strategic combination of materials that, when integrated with polymeric matrices, achieve improved performance without losing their biodegradability and recyclability. This will enable the development of more resistant, sustainable and safer packaging solutions, capable of responding to the current demands of industry and society.
In addition, the project will apply the SSbD (Safe and Sustainable by Design) framework and foster dialogue with industry and society, ensuring the adoption of new circular business models. To maximize social impact, stakeholders will be involved from the outset, so that their needs and concerns are taken into account and the adoption of these new practices is facilitated.
