  1. Project Presentation PLASTICS ALIGNED WITH NATURE

  2. Motivation Challenge: Intensive plastics use causes considerable and growing environmental burdens • Use of limited resources (oil) • Emissions released during production stage • Waste management Solution: Use of plastics with higher level of sustainability – biodegradable and biobased plastics (bioplastics)

  3. Project focus Identification and removal of barriers to the faster and more widespread use of sustainable types of plastics, particularly biodegradable plastics and plastics based on renewable resources, in Central Europe.

  4. How we intend to achieve this? • Joining strong centers of knowledge on biodegradable materials • Support and involvement of the complete value chain (production, processing, industrial use, consumer, waste management)

  5. Objectives • Raising awareness among target groups regarding biodegradable plastics • Improving technology transfer and knowledge exchange mechanisms in biodegradable end-user industries • Improving access to scientific knowledge, use of already existing knowledge adapted to requirements of biodegradable polymer and plastic value chain • Intesifying application-oriented cooperation between research and industry.

  6. Expected results • National information points • For providing unbiased and scientifically supported information about sustainable plastics to consumers and industrial users • Information Toolkit • Certification system for compostable plastics • Developed in Slovenia and Slovakia • Roadmap • For research and commercialization of new biodegradable polymers that meet overall market expectations

  7. PLASTiCE PROJECT PARTNERS 13 partners from four countries (Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, Italy)
