We develop novel renewable and biodegradable materials that can replace plastic, for instance in packaging applications. Hence, our research supports UN sustainability subgoal 14.1:
UN subgoal 14.1: “By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution.”
Target 14.1.1 b: “Plastic debris density.”
Examples of projects at RISE PFI supporting UN sustainability goal 14.1 are given below:
TEFFI
Thermoformed fibre products for functional and sustainable packaging of fresh food
Biobased foam
Biobased foams can have useful properties for several applications
FoamFiber
Replacing fossil fuel-based plastic products
NEPP
A new generation beverage carton
3D formed fibre packaging
Dry Fibre Forming
NewHype
New Hybrid Paper
