FoWRSaP envisions an innovative and sustainable future for food packaging. Through biopolymers and advanced tech, it aims to revolutionize food preservation. Across the Mediterranean, FoWRSaP seeks a greener, efficient food value chain benefiting consumers, agro-food industries, and the environment.
FoWRSaP addresses at the same time: i) the production of biodegradable packaging with antimicrobial effect using biopolymers (CHT, PLA, and EPS) as an alternative to synthetic plastic, ii) green extraction of CHT from sea products transformation and mass reared insects and EPS produced by microorganisms and iii) the use of food bio-wastes as a source of bioactive compounds that will be combined with biopolymers for the development of bio-packaging with enhanced antimicrobial effect, in the perspective of a circular economy.
The FoWRSaP consortium is strategically assembled to excel in Mediterranean agro-food innovation. Leveraging the diverse expertise of its partners, with a track record in coordinating European and national projects, each member contributes unique skills. Spanning 5 EU countries and 5 Third Countries, the consortium includes 3 SME, 10 Universities, and 4 Research centers. FoWRSaP employs a multidisciplinary approach, engaging experts in various fields to drive research success and practical outcomes.
