The POLYBIO group aims to explore and exploit the capacity of bacteria to produce and degrade plastics to contribute to the sustainability of the planet. The problem of environmental pollution generated by the massive use of plastic materials derived from the...
FUTURCAUCHO brought together industry leaders, researchers, academics and government officials. The FUTURCAUCHO event, which took place on June 8 at the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid, marked an important milestone in the rubber industry in Spain by commemorating...
The CSIC has published the SCIENCE4POLICY report coordinated by SusPlast for free download. Under the title "Fighting pollution by plastics", the SCIENCE4POLICY program of the Higher Council for Scientific Institutions (CSIC) dedicated to promoting "science for...
Polymer-reinforced graphene oxide monoliths for catalytic support In the Supercritical Fluids and Functional Materials Research Group (ICMAB-CSIC) we are developing new composite aerogels of graphene oxide reinforced with polymeric materials. With incorporating...
Mat-SusApp uses "upcycling" technology to obtain compounds with high added value from depolymerization. One of the main problems today is the excess of non-biodegradable plastics that are being generated and accumulated in our environment. This is why the Mat-SusApp...
The end of life of plastics is a problem on the order of the day in our society, which increasinly demands quick and efficent solutions to alleviate this situation. The accumulation of millions of tons of plastics in the environment means a major challenge, which the...
On June 28, the CSIC will present Science4 Policy (S4P), a collection of reports that seeks to transfer the knowledge generated in the CSIC to the non-scientific world, with special emphasis on politicians at all levels of public administration, in order to They can...
Members of the Microbial Biosystems group were at the Ibero-American Congress of Chemical Engineering, where they presented their results on the synthesis of PHAs and PLA polylactic acid, both bioplastics of great interest. The Microbial Biosystem group (Dr. Jorge...
The canning industry is a sector of global dimensions and with a special impact in countries with a strong transformation activity in the agri-food sector. To preserve the integrity of the container and avoid organoleptic modification and contamination of the food...
In recent years, the chemical recycling of plastic waste has attracted global interest, since it is necessary to reduce its impact on the environment. As a result of this, a new concept called "upcycling" has emerged, whose objective is the recovery of said plastic...
One of the lines of work of the BIOFUN team, belonging to the Packaging Group of the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA-CSIC), consists of investigating the use of biopolymers as an alternative to conventional plastic materials for food packaging....
