Sustainable and Circular Packaging Technologies for Next-Generation Packaging
Technology Portfolio Lead, Packaging Materials, Advanced Biobased Materials at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland
Espoo, Finland
About
Our capabilities cover fibre-based packaging, barrier coatings and films, regenerated cellulose, nanocellulose, bioplastics and biocomposites, enzymatic activation of recycled fibres, 3D fibre forming, lightweight structures and smart packaging. We support development from material and formulation design through lab testing, pilot-scale processing, converting and validation, helping partners move promising packaging concepts toward industrial implementation.
We can contribute on the following:
-
Recyclable and fibre-based high-barrier packaging
-
Bio-based and PFAS-free functional coatings
-
Regenerated cellulose and nanocellulose films/coatings
-
3D formed, moulded and lightweight fibre packaging
-
Bioplastics and biocomposites for packaging
-
Smart and active packaging concepts
-
Material, barrier, recyclability and end-of-life assessment
-
Pilot-scale coating, converting, forming and technology validation
-
Enzymatic activation of pulp fibers
-
