Bioplastics

Green coagulation and nanocellulose foams improve microplastic removal, yet integration challenges include clogging and media handling.

Printable chipless RFID tags using MXene inks enable remote sorting and then dissolve in a caustic wash to avoid contamination of recyclate.

Machine learning (ML) enables rapid design of antimicrobial peptide (AMP)-mimetic polymers to treat bacterial infections.

3D-printed biodegradable meshes improve guided bone regeneration by combining custom fit, mechanical support, and enhanced tissue integration.

A two-year program conducted by CEFLEX gathered information from 1,700 data points and over 600 packaging samples. As a result, a design guide was developed to ensure the practical recyclability of flexible packaging.

Flexible bio-based polyester blocks transform brittle PLLA into ultra-tough copolymers with high extensibility and industrially relevant strength.

Made from polylactic acid (PLA), these mono-material sandwich structures with foam-filled cores offer sustainability and high performance.

Biopolymer seed coatings cut agricultural microplastics while maintaining adhesion, dust control, and germination for safer, more sustainable farming.

Insect farming using mealworms and black soldier fly larvae offers a two-step solution to manage plastic and food waste while reducing microplastics in soil.

Biointellectus develops the next generation of bioproducts by transforming biomass into functional plastics.
