The European project WaysTUP! aims to identify new value chains for the utilisation of urban biowaste. One of the project partners, the Spanish plastics technology centre Aimplas, has now developed a bio-based plastic film made from coffee grounds. \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The conversion of biological waste into usable resources is one of the keys to the circular economy and the main objective of the European project WaysTUP!<\/a>. In various research areas, the aim is to New value chains for the utilisation of municipal biowaste<\/strong> be created. As part of this project, the Spanish Plastics Technology Centre Aimplas<\/a> has developed a plastic film made from coffee grounds, turning waste into a source of high-quality new products.<\/p>

\u201eWaysTUP! is a clear example of how bio-waste can play an important role in the transition to a circular economy by utilising its potential as a source of high-quality secondary resources. In our case, we are converting coffee waste into plastic film for packaging.\u201c<\/p>

Nuria L\u00f3pez,<\/strong> Project manager at AIMPLAS<\/p><\/blockquote>

As part of the project, various forms of urban biowaste are being analysed, In addition to coffee grounds, fish and meat waste as well as cooking oil<\/strong>, The result is new bio-based products such as food additives, spices, insect proteins, bioethanol, biosolvents and bioplastics for packaging.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>

The coffee grounds used by Aimplas as a raw material come from restaurants and are processed by Organic bean<\/a>, the world's largest coffee waste recycler. Aimplas extracts the biopolymer PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate) from it and formulates it, that it can be processed by extrusion<\/strong>. The bio-based film produced can then be used for various types of flexible packaging.<\/p>

The WaysTUP! project will funded by the EU research and innovation programme Horizon 2020<\/strong>. A total of 26 research centres, local authorities, companies and city networks are involved in the project.<\/p>
