EFFECTIVE Project Receives Grant for Biobased Fibers & Plastics Development
AquafilSLO has announced that it will act as the coordinator of a
consortium which has been awarded a grant from the Bio-Based Industries
Joint Undertaking (BBI JU), a public/private partnership between the
European Union and the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC).
Innovative Biobased Chemical Technology:
The grant, for 7.1 million euros, is for the “EFFECTIVE” project, which aims to demonstrate first of its kind and economically viable ways to produce more sustainable fibers and plastic films. The focus is on making biobased polyamides and polyesters from renewable feedstocks rather than oil and gas and aims to accelerate progress toward a more circular economy and responsible use of materials. The project intends to enable the use of biobased ingredients to go into widely-used consumer products across multiple markets, such as construction, automotive, packaging, garments, carpets and textile, and demonstrate improved ways of recycling or biodegrading materials.
EFFECTIVE Team Extends from Product Ingredients through Finished Materials, Recycling and more
The participants in the EFFECTIVE project include 12 companies in 7 countries, specializing in:
Renewable feedstocks;
Conversion technologies, including fermentation-based techniques of making widely-used chemicals from renewable feedstocks;
Makers of intermediate and finished products;
Major consumer brands;
Recycling and biodegradability experts;
and sustainability advisors.
The EFFECTIVE project will be coordinated by AquafilSLO (Slovenia) and includes Aquafil S.p.A (Italy), Novamont (Italy), Südzucker (Germany), Carvico (Italy), Vaude (Germany), Balsan (France), H&M Group(Sweden), Bio-Mi (Croatia), CIRCE (Spain), Life Cycle Engineering (Italy) and Circular Change (Slovenia).
