Abstract
The aim of the project is to develop the next generation of advanced functional packaging that incorporates the biomass of non-native invasive plants and enables the production of new high-performance packaging solutions. The project focuses on the problem of industrial packaging of heavier industrial products, for which there are currently no alternatives to EPS (expanded polystyrene) packaging. The project is therefore necessary as it focuses on sustainable transition to circular economy based on biodegradability, reducing the consumption of raw material resources and at the same time addressing the problem of recycling waste from non-native invasive plants. The effects of the project will be reflected in the establishment of a new value chain, which operates on the principle of a closed loop and enables the eco-design of industrial packaging. The environmental effects are the most important, as studies have shown that replacing plastic containers and packaging with cellulose-based packaging can lead to life-cycle CO2 emissions reduction when considering raw material extraction and production, manufacturing, transport, use and disposal.
