VAMOS
Value added materials from organic waste sugars
Sugar is one of the most essential raw materials for industrial bioprocessing supply chains. The VAMOS project aims to demonstrate the commercial feasibility of producing sugar derived from household…
SinFonia
The SinFonia project tries to produce organic fluorine compounds by biosynthesis. This could replace the previous environmentally harmful chemical methods used to produce the substances.
(Bulk) purchase of bio-based plastic products in the public and entrepreneurial sectors – criteria, selection, incentives
The project explores the potential to implement the instrument of ‘sustainable and innovative procurement’ for bio-based plastics, or to enable implementation to facilitate market launch.
COSMOS
COSMOS aims at reducing the dependence on imported coconut and palm kernel oils and fatty acids and on castor oil as sources for medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA, C10–C14) and medium-chain polymer…
OPTIMA
The project, coordinated by the University of Catania, focused on the Mediterranean region where marginal lands are usually characterised by poor water availability.
Study of the environmental impacts of packagings made of biodegradable plastics
The 5th revision of the German Packaging Ordinance introduced special provisions for biodegradable plastic packagings, which are bound to expire on December 31, 2012. It is the intention of this…
Environmental Innovation Policy - Greater ressource efficiency and climate protection through the sustainable material use of biomass
Bio-based products often have both environmental advantages and disadvantages, and as such show many similarities to the use of biomass for energy. This has been profoundly analysed by a study for the…
BIOCORE
The project focused on the production of a wide range of products from non-food biomass feedstocks using an innovative Organosolv technology.
