ACTIVE POLYVALENT PACKAGING BASED ON ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY FIBRE MATERIAL

摘要

ACTIPOLY is a two year ERA-NET CORNET project which has recently started in May 2015. The goal of the project is the development of a novel fibre-based thermo-formable packaging material with barrier and antimicrobial functionalities intended to extend the shelf life of fresh food. Focus will be also set on recyclability and com-postability of the packaging material after usage. The innovative core element of this project is the modification of fibre-based materials to introduce thermoplasticity.
