This applied research project builds on basic research by Valueform Ltdat the BioComposites Centre at BangorUniversity on 'Innovativeprocessing of local agri-fibres'. This project will i) produce novelbiocomposite food packaging using plant-based materials; cereal/ oilseedstraws/ and others agri-residues, optimising process variables to obtainultrathin materials ii) confirm use of Innovative farm-basedtechnologies to convert these materials into retail food packages, atcosts competitive with concurent non-renewable products. Preliminaryinvestigations show that these biocomposites are more resource efficientthan plastics, biopolymers & starch-based alternatives currentlyavailable on the market. The packaging products will be biodegradable/compostable & post-use for making medical disposable products such askidney trays, urinals delivering a very efficient life cycle and alsoleading to reduction in landfill.

该应用研究项目建立在班戈大学生物复合材料中心 Valueform Ltd 的基础研究“本地农业纤维的创新加工”基础上。该项目将 i) 使用植物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) 确认使用基于农场的创新技术将这些材料转化为零售食品包装，其成本与同时不可再生的产品相比具有竞争力。初步研究表明，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/可堆肥的，用于制造医疗一次性产品，如肾托盘、小便器，提供非常有效的生命周期，并减少垃圾填埋。
