About the project

The EU has set itself ambitious targets in the Green Deal.

The use of alternative fossil-free raw materials, such as bio-based or recycled raw materials, as well as recyclable and/or biodegradable materials, plays a central role in achieving these circularity goals.

REBIOLUTION aims to design and synthetize novel fully bio-based and biodegradable polyester blends based on 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and other bio-based monomers fit for specific product-market applications.

Objectives

  • Develop fully bio-based, biodegradable and recyclable plastics for paper food packaging and agricultural films
  • Raw material sourcing from annually renewable sources
  • Biodegradable in home and industrial composting, soil and aquatic environments
  • Recyclable
  • Enhancing circularity in applications where mechanical recycling is not possible – food paper packaging and agricultural films
  • Safe to use

Establish well-defined properties to improve sustainability, using non-toxic substances, reducing the consumption of non-renewable resources while ensuring recyclability and biodegradability, both in home composting and in soil, fresh water and the marine environment.

REBIOLUTION at PWFWC24: Tackling Plastic Pollution with Biodegradable Materials

At PWFWC24, our partner HYDRA Marine Sciencies presented groundbreaking insights on microplastic persistence and the environmental impact of biodegradable vs. non-degradable polymers. The presentation introduced a novel conceptual model designed to help select polymers and materials that combine the desired functionality with minimal environmental impact. With plastic pollution high on the
