17 Oct 2022 --- Aimplas is developing bioplastics from the biomass of trees and shrubs for active packaging in cosmetics and absorbent litter for the pet industry. The research is conducted under the European BeonNAT Project – one of the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programs. Aimplas’ plastics technology center will generate lactic acid and then polylactic acid (PLA) from fermentable sugars in biomass waste for use in packaging with active properties for cosmetics. The center is also working on the encapsulation of silica with essential oils to incorporate it into pet-absorbent litter.
