The study mapped the most relevant value chains currently under development that derive from main biomass components (natural rubber, plant fibres, lignin, renewable oils and fats) and low-volume high-value (LVHV) biomass components (terpenes, natural polyelectrolytes), in addition to urban wastes. The sugar platform was not included in the present study because its potential exploitation for the development of biofuels and biochemicals was covered in a previous study commissioned by the European Commission, and concluded in 2015 [1]. While more than 100 innovative BBPs were monitored, lignin was found to be generating the highest number of innovative products, together with terpenes and urban wastes. More than 30 innovative BBPs are approaching full availability on the market, and more than 20 products are now at the pilot plant level. Through an assessment based on the active marketplace, EU-based development, degree of innovation and market potential, the TOP20 most innovative BBPs holding the greatest promise for commercial deployment within the next 5-10 years were identified. This selection includes engineering materials, new bioplastics, high added-value products for demanding applications in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields, as well as sustainable substitutes for critical raw materials. Detailed case studies were developed on the TOP20 innovative BBPs. RÉSUMÉ SCIENTIFIQUE Cette étude a été réalisée pour le compte de la CE-DG RTD, dans le cadre du projet BIOSPRI «Study on support to R&I policy in the area of bio-based products (BBPs) and services». Elle a été menée par l’Université de Bologne (Italie) et Fraunhofer ISI (Allemagne), parties prenantes du consortium dirigé par COWI A/S (Danemark). L’étude a permis de dresser une liste des chaînes de valeur les plus pertinentes en cours de développement, provenant des principaux composants de la biomasse (caoutchouc naturel, fibres végétales, lignine, huiles et graisses recyclables), des composants de la biomasse à faible volume et à forte valeur (terpènes, polyélectrolytes naturels), ainsi que des déchets urbains. Le sucre en tant que matière première n’a pas été abordé dans cette étude car son exploitation potentielle pour le développement de biocarburants et de produits biochimiques a déjà été traitée dans une étude commandée par la Communauté Européenne et présentée en 2015 [1]. Sur plus de 100 BBPs analysés, il a été constaté que la lignine, le terpène et les déchets urbains généraient le plus grand nombre de produits innovants. Plus de 30 BBPs innovants sont sur le point d’être commercialisés à grande échelle, et plus de 20 produits en sont à l’étape de l’usine pilote. Grâce à une évaluation basée sur le marché actif, le degré de développement au niveau de l’Union Européenne, le degré d’innovation et le potentiel commercial, le TOP20 des BBPs les plus innovants offrant les meilleures perspectives de déploiement commercial dans les 5 à 10

Recovered fibres were fractionated from solid recovered fuel, a standardised combustion fuel composed mainly of packaging waste, and the composition and enzymatic digestibility of the material were determined. The effect of pretreatment, solids loading and the use of surfactants on hydrolysis yield was studied. Selected steps for processing spruce bark and recovered fibres were scaled up from laboratory- to small pilot scale.The results of the work carried out in this thesis indicate that the biorefinery concepts presented for spruce bark and recovered fibres have technical potential for industrial application.

We envisage a biobased economy founded on locally sourced and produced plant and waste-derived materials, chemicals, fuels, food and feed. At the heart of this vision are biorefi neries which will gradually replace oil refi neries by using renewable resources in place of fossil fuels. In doing so, biorefi neries will play an important part in spurring growth and drive the effort to reindustrialise Europe.

  • Extrusion Foaming of Bioplastics for Lightweight Structure in Food Packaging
    EXTRUSION FOAMING OF BIOPLASTICS FOR LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE IN FOOD PACKAGING A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sitthi Duangphet School of Engineering and Design Brunel University December 2012 i Abstract This thesis reports the systematic approaches to overcome the key drawbacks of the pure PHBV, namely low crystallisation rate, tensile strength, ductility, melt viscosity, thermal stability and high materials cost. The physical, mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties of the pure PHBV were studied systematically first to lay a solid foundation for formulation development. The influence of blending with other biopolymers, inclusion of filler, and chain extender additives in terms of mechanical properties, rheology, thermal decomposition and crystallization kinetics were then followed. Creating lightweight structures by foaming is considered to be one of the effective ways to reduce material consumption, hence the reduction of density and morphology of PHBV-based foams using extrusion foaming technique were studied comprehensively in terms of extrusion conditions (temperature profiles, screw speed and material feeding rate) and the blowing agent content. The material cost reduction was achieved by adding low-cost filler (e.g. CaCO3) and reduction of density by foaming. The thermal instability was enhanced by incorporation of chain extender (e.g. Joncryl) and blending with a high thermal stability biopolymer (e.g. PBAT). The polymer blend also improved the ductility. Adding nucleation agent enhanced the crystallization rate to reduce stickiness of extruded sheet. The final formulation (PHBV/PBAT/CaCO3 composite) was successfully extruded into high quality sheet and thermoformed to produce prototype trays in an industrial scale trial. The effect of the extrusion conditions (temperature profiles, screw speed and material feeding rate) and the blowing agent content are correlated to the density reduction of the foams.
