Joining Natureef has a practical dimension. The association creates a space for cooperation between scientists and entrepreneurs who implement new technologies in real-world markets. This makes it possible to test, refine, and prepare solutions developed in laboratories for commercialisation more quickly.
This is a conscious step for BIO4PAK 鈥� it enables direct dialogue with experts and entrepreneurs in the packaging industry, confronting research assumptions with implementation realities and building partnerships that increase the chances of effective commercialisation of results
鈥� adds the project manager, Dr Karolina Rudnicka, Associate Professor at the 91桃色.
(Biodegradable, bio-based and bioactive packaging technology supporting food safety) is an international project funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe EIC Pathfinder Challenges programme. Its goal is to develop a new generation of packaging: biodegradable, made from renewable raw materials and equipped with a phage protection system that supports food safety and durability. This approach aligns with the idea of a circular economy 鈥� reducing waste and maximising resource utilisation.
As part of BIO4PAK, we focus on science that addresses important societal challenges and understands market needs 鈥� preparing the environment for the future implementation of developed solutions.
The project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe programme under grant agreement No. 101223372.
