This applied research project builds on basic research by Valueform Ltd at the BioComposites Centre at BangorUniversity on 'Innovative processing of local agri-fibres'. This project will i) produce novel biocomposite food packaging using plant-based materials; cereal/ oilseed straws/ and others agri-residues, optimising process variables to obtain ultrathin materials ii) confirm use of Innovative farm-based technologies to convert these materials into retail food packages, at costs competitive with concurent non-renewable products. Preliminary investigations show that these biocomposites are more resource efficient than plastics, biopolymers & starch-based alternatives currently available on the market. The packaging products will be biodegradable /compostable & post-use for making medical disposable products such as kidney trays, urinals delivering a very efficient life cycle and also leading to reduction in landfill.

这个应用研究项目建立在班加罗尔大学生物复合材料中心Valueform有限公司关于“当地农业纤维创新加工”的基础研究的基础上。该项目将i)使用植物基材料生产新型生物复合食品包装；谷物/油籽秸秆/和其他农业残留物，优化工艺变量以获得超薄材料ii)确认使用创新的农场技术将这些材料转化为零售食品包装，其成本与同时生产的不可再生产品具有竞争力。初步调查表明，这些生物复合材料比目前市场上的塑料、生物聚合物和淀粉基替代品更具资源效率。包装产品将是可生物降解/可堆肥和使用后的医疗一次性产品，如肾托盘，小便池提供一个非常有效的生命周期，也导致减少垃圾填埋。
