Bioplastics, known as biodegradable or renewable materials, are one of the most in-demand bio-based products. However, there is a need to improve the material’s properties and broaden its application areas to meet the market demands.
PROMOFER aims to address this issue by producing high-value bioplastics applications from two kinds of feedstock – lignocellulosic biomass and food industry waste – and improving fermentation processes, as well as downstream purification.
The circular bio-based products resulting from these processes can be used in geotextile net, coated paper packaging, and technical textile applications in the fashion industry.
