From Brewery Waste to Biobased, Circular Packaging: Innovation Instrumental to the PPWR Implementation (Policy Briefing)

The document is split into three main sections: In the first part, we provide an overview of the changing regulatory framework for biobased packaging. Setting the context. In the second part, we offer an overview of our key recommendations to the legislator, considering the outputs of this project. The last part reports evidence of the most promising results in biobased packaging: coatings for rigid and flexible packaging, compostable fibre-based packaging, and a process for producing biopolymers from brewers' spent grains.
