Bidragets beskrivning
Plastic waste from packaging is polluting our environment, as up to 10 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year. Cellulose-based materials, such as paperboards have the potential to replace plastics in many applications including packaging. However, limited formability properties are hindering their use-potential. The solution for radical improvement in paperboard formability could be achieved by combining tailored fibre materials assisted with molecular and structural simulations and advanced 3D-forming characterization. This will lead to a better understanding of the material behavior under 3D-converting with thermomechanical stresses. The resulting leap in 3D formability of cellulose-based materials will help to reduce the amount of plastic waste by replacing fossil-based materials with renewable, recyclable and biodegradable raw-materials.
