Welcome to the new era of #fibers and #plastics #Sustainable and #biobased

About us

A NEW ERA OF FIBERS AND PLASTICS The non-biodegradability of most plastic materials and their accumulation affects both oceans and land. To secure a greener future for our planet, the EFFECTIVE project connects 12 companies and institutes who have joined forces to redesign two of the today’s most widely used materials: polyamides and polyesters. Our aim is to design bio-based polyamides and polyesters from renewable feedstocks rather than crude oil, and manufacture greener and structurally improved fibers and films. We also intend to showcase the use of our bio-based ingredients in a wide array of mass-produced consumer products across multiple markets, such as construction, automotive, packaging, garments, carpets and textiles. Finally, we want to demonstrate innovative and improved ways for the end-of-life treatment of our products by introducing a circular economy approach and validate the recyclability or biodegradability of the EFFECTIVE materials.
