REBIOFOAM is a Collaborative Project financed by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Programme. The project involves 10 partners around Europe. The project idea is to develop a flexible, energy-efficient and environmentally-sustainable manufacturing process enabling the production of biodegradable foamed 3D-shaped packaging originating from renewable materials. Within the proposed process, expansion and foaming of the bio-polymer will be driven by pressurized microwave technology, exploiting the inner water content of the material itself to generate vapour.
