ADCELLPACK project to develop cellulose-based food packaging material

In Finland, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Centros Comerciales Carrefour, Distribuciones Juan Luna, Papelera de Brandia, Elastopoli Oy, and Skymark, with ITENE as coordinator, are working to develop a new renewable solution that will maintain the freshness of a product and assure its food contact safety.

The European ADCELLPACK consortium is developing a thermoplastic wood-fibre-based packaging material for trays used primarily in packages of sliced cheese. The new material will be designed to suit Modified Atmosphere Packaging.
