Brewers spent grain as main by-product for development of novel, high-performance bio-based polymers, polymer blends, and co-polymers
About the project
POLYMEER aims to establish a sustainable bio-based value chain for bioplastic products, using brewers' spent grain (BSG) as feedstock.
It involves the entire production process, starting with BSG fractionation into key biopolymers (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) which are then transformed into specific polymers and co-polymers exploiting green, waste-minimised processes. Finally, through blending, formulation and processing, bioplastics suitable for three target applications will be created.*
* Bioplastics suitable for three target applications will be created.
