FOCUS AREAS

AMB D2BD - FOCUS AREA

BEYOND SUSTAINABILITY

Applications and enablers for circular economies.

    E.g. startup/scaleup/solutions that might:
  • Allow or facilitate the use of raw materials that today are considered inefficient or poorly performing, but potentially disruptive in the medium term / explore new materials
  • Increase performances of monomaterial packaging or other/new product types with reduced plastic content
  • Enable circular sourcing chain for increase recycling of final products (e.g. post-industrial)

INTELLIGENT & SMART PACKAGING

Innovative solutions to develop intelligent and smart plastic packaging

    E.g. startup/scaleup/solutions that might:
  • Develop system that «sign» products, and provide into information about the path on the value/supply-chain and also create a connection with the end customer
  • Draw and implement a system which help in traceability and integrate with new technology such as blockchain
