After four years of groundbreaking innovation, the CHAMPION project (Circular High-performance Aza-Michael Polymers as Innovative Materials Originating from Nature) has been successfully completed. This initiative, funded by Horizon 2020 BBI JU, aimed to replace conventional materials with sustainable, bio-based polymers, paving the way for a more environmentally friendly future.
As a proud partner in this project, Normec OWS focused on testing biodegradability and ecotoxicity to ensure the environmental safety and sustainability of the developed materials. These high-quality bio-based polymers are used in coatings, textiles, household care products, and adhesives, demonstrating their versatility and potential to replace traditional materials.
We would like to express our gratitude to the University of York, our 14 partners from six European countries, and everyone who supported the project. The success of the CHAMPION project underscores the possibilities of sustainable innovation and serves as inspiration for future progress in the bioeconomy. The products developed during the project demonstrate the practical potential of bio-based solutions and offer a glimpse into the future of sustainable materials.
Whether it’s monitoring, permitting, quality control, or complex environmental issues, together we provide reliable insights you can rely on with confidence.
At Normec OWS, we are excited to introduce a new educational series designed to simplify and explain the science behind biodegradability, compostability, disintegration, and ecotoxicity. This series underscores our commitment to sharing knowledge and supporting companies on their journey toward sustainability.
We are pleased to announce that Normec OWS is participating in the POLYMEER project, an innovative initiative funded by the Circular Bio-Based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU). This ambitious project focuses on converting spent grain (BSG) into sustainable bioplastic products, thereby contributing to the transition away from traditional plastics.
Normec OWS is proud to be part of the REBIOLUTION project, a European initiative in which nine partners from seven EU countries are collaborating. Together, we are developing innovative, bio-based, biodegradable, and recyclable plastics that address the sustainability challenges in the packaging and agricultural sectors.
The UNLOCK project has been successfully completed, and its impact is now being highlighted by CORDIS in a recently published article in the “Results in Brief” section.
