Description

Europe’s efforts to reduce plastic pollution on land and in the sea aim for sustainable business practices, compatible with the principles of the circular economy. Consequently, the use of organic materials (bioplastics) or degradable materials (biodegradable) is encouraged. The EU-funded SEALIVE project proposes advanced circular strategies that prevent and substantially limit pollution. This solution will be tested in Cyprus, Denmark, France and Ireland. It will be developed under recycling, biodegradability and composting norms for advanced systems. The project aims to develop circularity techniques and end-of-life solutions that will support sustainable bio-based plastics solutions. The solutions will be tested in eight cases representing high pollution potential for land and sea.
