Title: Insect microbiomes as a tool for the recovery of plastic waste from multilayer packaging
Research group: Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology
In fact, currently, the demand for recycled plastic only represents around 6% of the total demand for plastic in Europe and investments in new recycling capacities have been held back by the poor profitability prospects of the sector.
The general objective of the ENTOMOPLAST project is to take a definitive step in the recycling of multi-material packaging, thus promoting the circular economy in the plastics sector.
ENTOMOPLAST is focused on the use of insects for the degradation of plastic and obtaining recycled materials of biological origin with high added value, which will allow to increase the recycling rates of multimaterial packaging in a profitable way.
