Developing a viable sustainable and biodegradable alternative to existing petrochemical-based plastics.

The aim of BIOHARV is to develop the necessary knowledge and expertise in the region to produce and characterise 100% polymer MER prototypes. The project will assist the local textile and plastic converting industries in implementing this technology.

Innovative solvent-based extraction routes to remove additives, such as titanium dioxide, from different polymer matrices and to reuse both titanium dioxide and polymer in new products.

Developing and optimizing a process for polymer recovering and reuse, used as feedstock in the textile industry, from common PIW and PCW.

Demonstrative process for the production and enzymatic recycling of environmentally safe, superior and versatile PHA-based rigid packaging solutions by plasma integration in the value chain. H2020-BBI-JTI-2020
