Holistic circular and bio-based packaging solutions, including technologies and business models, will be developed through close collaborations with industrial actors along the value chain from material production, packaging design and converting, brand owners and end users, to recycling companies. Solutions originated from existing linear economy systems that do not fit circular economy systems need to be transformed. The outcome of the project is expected to accelerate innovations in phasing out fossil-based packaging and enabling reusable fibre-based packaging. The project will also contribute to four of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of UN.
