ECHOS-Exploring aCtive edible materials based on pHenolic-biocOnjugates from agro-industrial by-products for Sustainable and healthy future food packaging

Active-edible materials applied in food packaging have great potential as a sustainable strategy for maintaining food quality: they act as a barrier to the outside environment and a vehicle for active compounds that can extend the shelf-life of food products. Agro-industrial byproducts represent a valuable source of active and functional compounds for packaging development, with

A new XRF analysis develops high yield pulp with even sulfonate distribution at fiber level for improved renewable packaging

This project addresses the main challenges of using environmentally friendly, renewable packaging materials due to the widespread use of plastic in the packaging industry. This interdisciplinary project aims to address the uneven distribution of fiber sulfonation and softening in wood chips, which is currently poorly understood at a micro-level. After impregnation, the distribution of sulfonation

Microfiber

This project has addressed the major bottlenecks in using environmentally friendly, renewable packaging materials as plastic dominates the packaging industry. This interdisciplinary project aims to fundamentally resolve the degree of roughness, i.e. the amount of fiber sulfonation and softening prior to defibration, which is unknown at the micro level. Typically, the distribution of sulfonation in

PolyTree

The main goal of this project called PolyTree is to enable a closed-loop sustainable materials economy by making renewable polyesters from wood-based building blocks through innovative green chemistries. While biopolymers have been actively developed, their technical properties lack in respect to fossil-based materials. Moreover, biopolymers are not necessarily biodegradable – or recyclable. This project embraces
