Abstract
Bio-based solutions for a circular economy Principal Scientist Ulla Forsström from the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd tells us about the INN-PRESSME Open Innovation Test Bed project, which aims to develop novel, sustainable and recyclable bio-based solutions to replace fossil-based plastic. The European Commission’s proposal for a ‘Revision of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive’ sets high targets for recycling packaging waste. Responsible retailers and consumers across Europe are needed to achieve these targets set for the circular economy model. This involves reusing packages as products or reusing materials for manufacturing new products. The regulation’s target is for all packaging to be recyclable by design by 2030 and for manufacturers to ensure their packaging will be recyclable ‘at scale’ by 2035.
