Waste2BioComp project aims to demonstrate relevant scale production of bio-based products and materials, as alternatives to replace traditional materials with high environmental footprint, using innovative manufacturing technologies.

The project integrates all stages in the bio-based products lifecycles, starting from R&I activities regarding the sourcing of feedstocks for the development of bio-based precursors and intermediate materials, smart inkjet printing techniques and smart manufacturing technologies for final products, and the final demonstrators, which will entail the production on a relevant scale of the following bio-based products: shoe sole materials with different hardness; three-layered shoe insoles; plastic films/packaging with different flexibilities; social face masks; fashion garments printed with bio-based inks; leather and textile shoes printed with bio-based inks; paper for packaging printed with bio-based inks.

The project will run for 36 months, and it will be constituted by 13 partners from France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.
