EcoFLEXY

Denmark-based biotech startup Cellugy is replacing single-use plastics with 100 % natural cellulose. The new biomaterial can replace plastics in several packaging applications and is completely harmless to the environment. It can be used in combination with paper, cardboard and other bio-based materials and meets the performance requirements of the packaging industry, all whilst being fully recyclable and biodegradable. After securing funding for developing the new biomaterial, Cellugy now aims, in the context of the EU-funded EcoFLEXY project, to scale up production, focusing on technical optimisation strategies, a pilot plant setup and relevant pre-deployment activities.
