PackageHeroes

Financier: Academy of Finland

Partners: 4, coordinated by VTT

Purpose:
To create concepts for food packaging solutions, which address simultaneously food protection and global concern of plastic packaging waste, based on recyclable and biodegradable wood fibre materials and new food delivery, consumption, and recycling concepts.

Impact:
For business actors the project provides information about biodegradable or recyclable materials, novel business concepts and support for ecosystem building. Regulators and authorities will get recommendations for policy measures towards sustainable food packaging. Consumer organizations, citizen-consumers and environmental NGOs will get information on sustainable materials and opportunities to collaborate with the leading actors in the field.
