TITLE

Flax and hemp advanced fibre based composites

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of FLHEA project is the development of industrial scaled-up processes to obtain modified cellulose nanowhiskers, for the development of biocomposites with improved properties to perform thermoformed trays for food packaging applications. This scope will assure the development of biodegradable fibre-based composites ready for the use and commercialization on packaging industry. FLHEA industrial process will be high-throughput, environmental, energetic and cost efficient.
