ECOplast

The main objective of the ECOplast project is the development of new biocomposites based on biopolymers as a base matrix, reinforced with natural fibers, nanofillers, fillers, and mineral additives. The project aims to adapt conventional processing techniques and other innovative process technologies to achieve customized properties for validation towards their introduction into a vehicle.

ECOplast aims to be a reliable response to environmental concerns, aligning with the functional requirements of major manufacturers and the protective policies of legislative authorities.

Its development will allow the introduction of a new biopolymer and the adaptation of biocomposite processing methods for potential use in vehicles. This includes reducing dependence on fossil resources, optimizing energy processes, improving the competitiveness of SMEs in the manufacturing sector, and promoting the use of biocomposites.
