Advancing Sustainable Packaging Solutions: the Development of Bioplastic Caps in the GREEN-LOOP Project
Introduction The GREEN-LOOP project, co-funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe program, aims to revolutionize the production of bio-based materials by developing sustainable manufacturing technologies. A key goal is to replace traditional fossil-based plastics with biodegradable and compostable alternatives. A significant achievement in this endeavour has been the development of bioplastic compounds tailored
Artificial intelligence to predict temperature profiles in microwave heating systems | Publication
Thanks to the GREEN-LOOP project activities, IDENER’s researchers have successfully applied artificial intelligence (AI) to predict temperature profiles in microwave heating systems, according to a new study published in the open-access journal Thermo. The findings, led by Victor Rosario Núñez, could lead to more efficient and uniform heating in various applications, from food processing to

Chamomile waste can be used to make herbal tea cups | other publication
Among the most brilliant initiatives of the Green-Loop project is the transformation of agricultural waste into new biocompatible materials, a striking example of applied circular economy. Mixcycling, an Italian company partner of Green-Loop, plays a crucial role in this context, demonstrating how natural resources can be reinvented to reduce plastic use and improve environmental impact.
