Biopolymers represent one of the most critical challenges of our time. As the world moves away from traditional petroleum-based plastics, scientists are racing to develop bio-based alternatives that can match their performance. In this context, the FURIOUS project is stepping up, aiming to improve the properties of biopolymers to make them viable for large-scale, high-performance use.
The European Union has officially put into effect the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), a landmark legislative reform aimed at reducing waste and increasing sustainability in the packaging industry.
The FURIOUS project team held on 26 and 27 November 2024 a productive two-day meeting to assess its progress and outline the path forward as it approaches the midpoint of the project timeline. Below, we summarize the key discussions and outcomes from the agenda-packed event.
In the dynamic landscape of polymer development, the FURIOUS project team is dedicated to defining a new set of furan-based polymers. This endeavour requires precision, creativity, and adherence to stringent requirements.
In this article, we will present the FURIOUS demonstrators, outline their requirements and challenges, and discuss the solutions the consortium is developing.
We were honoured to be invited by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) to share our progress at the IBO.2 session of the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition. This opportunity placed us alongside other innovative projects such as PERFECOAT, THERMOFIRE, and the ELLIPSE Project.
Today, the FURIOUS project was presented at the FUR4Sustain meeting in Nice "Forging the Future".
As the project started, the FURIOUS consortium gathered for the first time in Terni, Italy, on the 12 and 13 June 2023, hosted by the University of Perugia.
In an era when environmental concerns have reached a crescendo, the search for eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics has intensified. We need to look for promising alternatives to fossil-based plastics while preserving the characteristics that conventional plastics have: lightweight, durability, affordable prices, among other characteristics.
The FURIOUS project will help in finding the way towards new bio-based polymers that can be the constituent of revolutionary bio-based plastics.
