The #WOOD4PLASTIC Project has received funding from the European Union’s LIFE programme under grant agreement No Project 101148460 — LIFE23-ENV-ES-WOOD4PLASTIC.

🇪🇪 Last week #WOOD4PLASTIC met in Tallinn for our 4th General Assembly, hosted by Fibenol, and capped it off with a visit to their Imavere biorefinery. We’re now in the final year of the project, and the whole team is focused on making everything come together. Final stretch! 💪

🌍 Bioplastics still make up just 0.5% of global plastics production, but capacity is set to nearly double by 2030 (2.31M → 4.69M tonnes). #WOOD4PLASTIC is helping close that gap with sugars & lignin from hardwood leftovers. 🌱 wood4plastic.eu/

🌱 Great progress from our partner #Dagöplast! Fruit & veg bags hit farmers' markets in June, and 10L OFMSW bags with lignin just rolled off the line. Both carry a QR code for end-user feedback. More #WOOD4PLASTIC products on the way!

In this carousel, we explore some of the key reasons why wood is considered a sustainable material and how its by-products and residues can be given a second life through innovative applications.🌳 👉 Swipe through to learn more.

As summer temperatures rise across Europe, forests face increasing risks ☀️ Understanding these challenges is key to protecting our ecosystems and renewable resources. Take a look at this video to learn more. #WOOD4PLASTIC #Forests #Sustainability

Why are bioplastics growing in Europe?🌍 Policy, innovation and growing environmental awareness are accelerating the transition towards more sustainable materials. Discover more about #WOOD4PLASTIC: wood4plastic.eu #Bioplastics #Sustainability

Wood residues can become high-performance alternatives to conventional plastics🔄️ Within #WOOD4PLASTIC, @aitiip has successfully validated the injection moulding of a bio-based household dehumidifier under real industrial conditions. #Bioplastics #BioBasedMaterials

The shift toward more sustainable materials is no longer an illusion… it’s a reality in motion. Bio-based, recyclable & compostable alternatives are transforming the industry. Bioplastics are scaling fast in packaging, agriculture & waste management♻️ #Bioplastics #Bioplastics

Together with @CCM, #WOOD4PLASTIC is advancing circular packaging from wood residues📦 Recent trials achieved thermoformed paper trays with <5% biopolymer, aligned with PPWR mono-material requirements From residues to scalable, low-carbon solutions ♻️ #Bioplastics

Happy Earth Day!🌍 At #WOOD4PLASTIC, we believe that this is a great opportunity to reflect on our impact. That’s why our values are aligned with reducing environmental impact and rethinking materials. Learn more: 🌱 (wood4plastic.eu/) #EarthDay #Sustainability

🌱 Keep learning about what #WOOD4PLASTIC is building We’re unlocking the potential of wood residues and turning them into bio-based plastics for a more circular future. Explore our approach, technologies, partners & results 👉🏻 wood4plastic.eu/ #Bioplastics #Sustainable

#Dagöplast keeps contributing to #WOOD4PLASTIC by transforming hardwood waste into compostable packaging, supporting the validation of bio-based materials in industrial processes. #Bioplastics #Sustainability

Bioplastics account for only 0.5% of global plastics… but they are growing fast🙌🏻 Their production is expected to double by 2030 (from 2.31 to 4.69 Mt) More innovation, more applications, and more circularity on the way!! #Bioplastics #CircularEconomy

We’re back with part 2! Not only the material matters, it’s the entire life cycle. A quick look at how materials can be rethought, from origin to end-of-life. Scroll to explore⬇️ #Bioplastics #Bioeconomy #Sustainability
