Cellulose fibres, microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and fibre-based packaging
Cellulose is one of the main components in wood and non-wood materials, such as straws and cotton, and cellulose fibres extracted from these raw materials are commonly used in production of fibre-based packaging. Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) consists of cellulose fibrils that have been separated from cellulose pulp (fibres), usually by mechanical treatments. The average width […]
REDYSIGN presents sustainable packaging innovations at SSbD24
The participation of HOLOSS in the conference provided an opportunity for the project to consolidate knowledge on the application of the SSbD framework in case studies and network with key industry actors in the value chain. The city of Monte Verità (Switzerland) became the epicenter for innovation and collaboration for one full week (November 10-15), […]
Advances in the creation of fibre-based packaging during the first year of the REDYSIGN Project
The project, funded by CBE JU and coordinated by Tecnalia, has completed its first year, achieving significant milestones The European project REDYSIGN celebrated its one-year anniversary in Tallinn, Estonia, marking a significant milestone in the mission to develop a circular bio-based alternative for fresh meat packaging using lignocellulosic materials. This research and innovation initiative brought […]
The potential of enzymes in the bioeconomy
As the global shift towards a sustainable bioeconomy gains momentum, the potential of enzymes in reducing the environmental impact of industrial processes becomes increasingly significant. Enzymes, nature’s own catalysts, are proving to be game-changers in the production of fibre-based packaging (FBP), a sector keen on minimizing its carbon footprint and enhancing eco-efficiency. Energy efficiency in […]
