HORIZON-CL6-2026-01-CIRCBIO-01: Improving circularity of multilayer flexible plastic food contact packaging
Research Manager at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd
Tampere, Finland
About
VTT can support to achieve needed performance for multilayer flexible films and coatings (TRL 5-6) and validate novel monomaterial solutions to improve circularity of films. We can also use both biobased and recycled polymers as a feedstock.
We improve the material performance and lifespan of plastics with experimental development of polymer and composite technologies.
Our key infrastructure:
Advanced compounding, upcycling and mechanical recycling platform with inline property control (VAREX)
VTT PLASCO: tailored film and coating line
Proprietary extruder for compacting low-density materials and plastic waste pre-treatment (MODIX)
Polymer extrusion foaming and bead forming
Characterisation and analytical equipment
