The packaging industry is evolving rapidly to reduce fossil fuel use and environmental impact.
One key innovation is bio-based composites—materials combining renewable fibers and biodegradable polymers as alternatives to conventional plastics.
The Horizon EU Green-Loop project has developed a novel composite made from vegetable fibers, functional additives, and biodegradable thermoplastics. This innovative material balances strength, thermal stability, and compostability, perfect for packaging applications like closures.
Thanks to Mixcycling Srl Società Benefit , melt compounding has created an exclusive bio-based compound from vegetable waste, offering:
✔️ Strong mechanical properties
✔️ Food contact compliance
✔️ High replicability in manufacturing
✔️ Reduced plastic content with biofillers like rice husk and cork, enhancing economic sustainability.
