Swedish researchers, packaging manufacturers, printing companies and brand owners are investing in a joint test bed for fossil-free packaging solutions. Why? To make the packaging of tomorrow more environmentally friendly. Paper Province, a world-leading cluster within forest-based bioeconomy, has received governmental funding to start a test bed for fossil-free laminates. The test bed is named FFLAM and combines three Swedish pilot plants to a one-stop-development-shop for packaging solutions derived from the forest. FFLAM will help reduce the use of fossil-based packaging materials, lessen microplastic and carbon dioxide emissions, and increase the use of fibre-based materials. The three-year project is about realizing the test bed, which innovators from all over the world can use to test and refine their innovations. Test beds like FFLAM shorten the time from idea to commercialised product. "This project is about bringing together researchers and companies, to find bio-based alternatives to the protective barrier found in food packaging," said Peter Edberg, Project Manager at Paper Province, in a press release.
