BIO4MAP project resulteert in nieuwe kaas-/pastaverpakking
Completed in April 2016, the BIO4MAP project is now bringing a new type of food packaging to the market. The consortium promises a significant increase in shelf life for fresh pasta and cheese, a cost 25% lower than alternatives, and an environmental and carbon footprint reduced by up to 29%.
The packaging material consists at least 75% of raw materials from renewable sources. It includes different layers of bioplastics and a wax coating produced from olive leaves. It is easy to recycle, presents excellent mechanical properties and protects its content from oxygen and humidity, thereby preventing the development of bacteria and fungi (Nieuwsbericht Europese Commissie, 17 augustus 2016).
