The project ran between May 2022 and February 2025.
The FutureForm project focused on developing sustainable, circular cellulose-based packaging solutions through a multi-disciplinary approach. WP1 created circular design guidelines, conducting impact assessments and recycling studies to enhance environmental sustainability. WP2 evaluated raw fiber materials, optimizing forming parameters for better recyclability and performance. WP3 worked on optimizing chemical formulations to improve barrier properties, focusing on oil and water resistance.

WP4 investigated improving mechanical properties and barrier performance for dry-formed and wet molded packaging. WP5 characterized and simulated cellulose fiber materials, using advanced techniques to optimize forming processes and develop a digital twin of the packaging process. WP6 managed the overall project, ensuring coordination, communication, and dissemination of results to stakeholders. The project aimed to advance the development of highquality, recyclable, cellulose-based packaging.
