AB  - In a world where unsustainable anthropogenic activities are drastically affecting Earth’s
ecosystems and natural resources, threatening animal (including human) health and safety, the
sustainable management and use of resources, including preventing plastic pollution, have
become of paramount importance. Plastics, being at the core of many low cost and high
performing materials, are widely used despite being based on non-renewable petrochemicals.
Currently, in EU, only 7% of plastics are recycled out of 57.2 million tonnes produced, and
93% end up in incineration, landfills and oceans, releasing persistent, bio-accumulative, toxic
and hazardous chemicals.
Bio Innovation of a Circular Economy for Plastics 1 (BioICEP) an EU Horizon project focuses
on reducing the burden of plastic waste in the environment and also changing the linear value
chains of current plastic products. The project's overall objective is to demonstrate a seamless,
sustainable route to a circular economy for plastics by developing cost-effective and low-
energy demand processes for waste plastic biotransformation into high-value marketable
products such as biodegradable plastics. To address these challenges, the BioICEP project
focuses on developing physical, enzymatic and biocatalytic pre-treatments to convert the
mixed plastic waste to biodegradable plastics focusing on recycling and upcycling of the
products with a zero-waste and regenerative approach.
