Branbox Biodegradable and waterproof take-away containers made of wheat bran

Coordinator: BIOTREM SPOLKA Z OGRANICZONA ODPOWIEDZIALNOSCIA (PL)

The plastic’s invasion on our planet have become our every day’s life. The amount of plastics is immense and starts to play a significant role on World’s ecosystem. Most of the plastics are the packages. The problem has been addressed by some biodegradable solutions such as bioplastic, paper or even bamboo containers. However, they still need at least half a year to degrade. From the other side, there is also immense amount of wheat bran which is a side product of the milling industry.

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €2.2M toward a total project budget of €3.2M — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 2.5 years from 2019-01-01 to 2021-06-30.
