The project ran between October 2022 and January 2024.

The project has gone from raw material to finished prototype, where almost the entire value chain has been represented within the consortium. In the project, bio-based and biodegradable polymers, has been analyzed and evaluated for properties suited for melt spinning. Through an iterative process, materials were then evaluated and spun. Based on the results and in dialogue with the project group, a selection of materials was further developed. The project result demonstrates progress with good outcomes, where a prototype has been evaluated in cultivation tests in Sweden.

Participants
