We highlight the BIOBOX project:
New Home Compost packaging that requires low thermal conductivity.The Biobox project is a consortium of seven companies (Kompuestos, Gaviplás, Bandesur, TI-films, Guerola, Lisart, and Miarco) with the overall objective of developing new compostable biopolymers, suitable for home composting, to obtain various single-use products that withstand and maintain the packaged product at temperatures such as refrigeration, freezing, hot consumption, and outdoor use.This project is funded by the Center for Technological and Industrial Development (CDTI).
