specific applications of the
packaging branch. The project is
focussed on different grades of
polylactic acid.
The objectives can be summarised
to the following focuses:
o
o
o
o
o
26
Overview of available materials
according the optimized usage
Guidelines for converter
Knowledge of legal framework due
to packaging materials for food
Marketing of Biopolymers all over
Europe towards the European
Community as well as towards the
end-users
Impulse for advancements increase
the application of PLA as a
biodegradable material in Europe

Project coordinator:
The project has a 6
million Euro budget
funded by EC. It involves
22 partners representing
most of the European
countries (Italy, France,
UK, Germany, Poland,
Czech Republic and
Portugal)
3 Plastipolis partners:

Objectives
Instrumentation and
methodology for sensor based
in-line monitoring; control of
processing of new
multifunctional polymer
nanomaterials.
In-situ grafting of nanofillers in
flowing polymer melts; inprocess analysis of the
influence of compatibilizing
agents and processing
parameters on dispersion and
distribution of nanoparticles
In-extruder synthesis and
functionalisation of nanofillers
and hybrids.
