EIC Pathfinder Portfolio Kick-off Meeting – Nov 17-18, 2025
#eicCircularBioPlastics
HORIZON-EIC-2024-PATHFINDERCHALLENGES-01-03 call, Nature-inspired Alternatives for Food Packaging and Films for Agriculture, supports ambitious interdisciplinary research that will lead to the development and production of sustainable nature inspired alternatives for food packaging and agricultural production such as, but not limited to, greenhouse and mulch films. These materials must have a reduced environmental impact, through design and production, while delivering the functional characteristics of plastics.
The 6 Projects selected for funding under the Challenge , Nature-inspired Alternatives for Food Packaging and Films for Agriculture will work together to develop specific portfolio objectives and activities, incorporated in the strategic plans for each EIC Challenge.
Delegates of the 6 projects funded under the call HORIZON-EIC-2024-PATHFINDERCHALLENGES-01-03, Nature-inspired Alternatives for Food Packaging and Films for Agriculture, met in Brussels on Nov 17-18, for EIC Project Portfolio kick-off meeting and engage in future synergies:
BIO2PES – Development of bio-based and biodegradable polyethylene and polyesters for food packaging and agricultural applications
BIO4PACK – Biodegradable bio-based bioactive packaging technology for supporting food safety
BORN – Biobased thermal-resistant food packaging
CELLAGRI – Cellulose-based mulch films with nature-inspired water-management structures for agricultural applications.
ECOSYSTEM – Emerging eco-active materials by sustainable tools from natural renewable residues
SATISPHACTION – Upcycling PHAs to innovate materials for fully sustainable food packaging
