La plate-forme DIS 30 « Ambition plasturgie pour 2030 » sur la plasturgie durable, intelligente et sûre a été labellisée par le Conseil régional AURA. Elle associe le CTCPA et IPC (Innovation Plasturgie Composites) et vise à faire de la nouvelle région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes le leader européen des matériaux polymères.

Contrary to popular belief, the biodegradation of a packaging in the environment is not necessarily the end of life most desirable for a material: its degradation generates as much CO2 as incineration, but no energy is recovered.

The presence of nanofillers in the formulation of varnishes or plastics makes debate in the scientific community; detractors point to the lack of hindsight on the toxic effects of these substances, while others point out the negligible transfer rates of particles trapped in the macromolecular networks of plastics and varnishes.

Since about twenty years, few innovations were observed in the field of biodegradable material compositions: the typical formula for bioplastic films adopted by manufacturers consists in combining a biodegradable flexible polyester (very often with petrocessed PBAT) with a fraction of unstructured starch, which improves the biodegradability and environmental footprint of the material.

Researchers at Cermav, France's historical laboratory of research on polysaccharides and in particular cellulose, finalized additives that would stabilize the mechanical behavior of paperboard in wet environments. The start-up "FunCell" aims to develop and commercialize fiber pre-treatment and post-processing paperboard additives.

At the interface of many disciplines (food process engineering, materials science, toxicology, microbiology, regulation ...), this work proposes an unprecedented approach to food packaging through a complete and practical analysis of its 7 functions: preserve the quality of the food, prevent the microbiological risk, preserve the integrity of the packaging and its contents, prevent the chemical risk, preserve the environment, meet the technical and economic requirements of the manufacturer and the user of the food packaging, interact and communicate with the consumer.
