Participation in research projects and funding programs

2017 - 2021 Participation in MyPack project - a project funded by the EU Commission as part of the Horizon 2020 program (www.mypackfood.eu)

• 18 participants from companies, universities and institutions from six EU countries
• The aim of the project is to develop innovative packaging to reduce food and packaging waste, as far as possible on the basis of biodegradable or biobased plastics

My part in the project is the end-of-life consideration of the packaging developments.
