RIA-02 SSbD bio-based polymers from alternative sources

WP leader as end-user in paper making industry :

-Test the suitability of obtained bio-based polymers in circular-by-design final applications such as packaging for example: Coating / spray / printing of these polymers on paper (lab and pilot scale)

-Application of super hydrophobic bio-based surface treatment (chromatogeny) to apply in combination with these polymers

-Test the suitability of obtained bio-based polymers in bulk (to bring wet strength…)

-Characterization of barrier properties (oxygen, grease, water, water vapor), mechanical properties

-Taking into account regulations for packaging recycling (PPWR) and suitability for food contact

-Testing of suitability for converting and sealing (glue, ultrasonic welding)

-Capabilities for flexible and rigid packaging (pouch/sachet, trays), laboratory scale or semi-industrial pilots

-Recycling in pulp and paper sector

-Proof of concept production

The Centre Technique du Papier (CTP) is an impact-driven organization and a key player in the ecological transition for the paper, board, fiber-based packaging and biomaterials industries. It supports companies and market players in adopting new materials, optimizing production and converting processes, and improving the environmental performance across the full life cycle of their products.

Equipped with pilot-scale platforms, CTP provides R&D, consulting, expert assessment, and laboratory and pilot services for the pulp, paper, board and related industries (including converters and printers).

Thanks to its expertise in fibers, recycling, plant-based chemistry and barrier solutions, it contributes to the development of sustainable alternatives to plastics and strengthens the competitiveness of the entire value chain.
