USE OF PLANT RESIDUES IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CONTAINERS AND PACKAGING
THE PACKAGING INDUSTRY IS CONTINUOUSLY SEARCHING FOR NEW MATERIALS to extend optimal food preservation conditions, avoid food waste, and replace materials that are less sustainable or appropriate for market situations. CEMOSA, the company developing LANDARE, focuses its activity on the transformation of cellulose from paper waste, but the paper market and the quality of the materials received at the plant (around 10-15% impurities) do not offer great stability; in addition, to the progressive decrease in the use of higher quality paper due to the emergence of new technologies. Being able to use alternative materials offering greater diversity of raw materials and a signifi cant improvement in the environmental footprint is of very high interest. On the other hand, FELTWOOD has developed an innovative technology to transform agricultural plant waste into materials made exclusively from plant fibres that are fully compostable, using waste from agricultural processes, and that produce a reusable fertiliser as a by-product. The circular economy consultancy ZICLA has also participated in LANDARE.
