WP Structure:
Work package Leader Core output
Communication, knowledge management and dissemination
National Institute of Chemistry, Ljubljana
The partnership establishes network of 4 National Information Points in Slovenia, Slovakia, Italy, Poland. NIP's use knowledge and tools developed transnationally to promote joint approach to issues of bioplastics in their countries.
Developing a roadmap for action – from science to innovation in the value chain
Polish Academy of Sciences Centre of Polymer and Carbon Materials
Partners actively develop a transnational Roadmap introducing a step-by-step program, based on the Joint R&D Scheme, for producers of polymer materials.
Framework conditions for stimulating market demand
Polish Packaging Research and Development Centre
Partners consider results of pilot advisory test and elaborate final Transnational Advisory Scheme in 5 languages for the future use of NIPs and dissemination across Central Europe.
NIPs in Slovenia and Slovakia set up a certification and labeling system for bioplastics. COBRO as experienced certification institute delivers expert support in the procedure.

so far: COBRO + DIN CERTCO
WP4 Core Outputs:
WP4.1 - Context report on industry requirements
82 pages
2 Parts
Theory/Literature review:
Sustainability
Definitions
Plastics
Bioplastics
Market Research
Polish Packaging Industry
End Consumers
Slovenian Packaging/Retail Industry
Polish Food and Retail Sector
Main Conclusions:
Both Polish and Slovenian companies are not familiar with the term ‘sustainable’
Both countries industries are familiar with ‘Biodegradable’ and ‘Carbon Footprint’ solutions
Market oriented approach to innovation – PULL STRATEGY - ‘If the customers/consumers are willing to use/pay then we will adapt’
Waste Management Strategy is of little consequence
Companies are very willing and interested to receive assistance
WP4.1 - Context report on industry requirements
Information Toolkit = Guide for entrepreneurs
A comprehensible guide about everything you need and want to know about bioplastics and sustainability
Still in draft phase – the final version of the guide is the core output of the project
WP4.2 - DRAFT ADVISORY SCHEME
for end-users
1. Polymer materials – Introduction and processing
2. Plastics
Traditional petrochemical plastics
Plastics from renewable resources
Biodegradable/compostable plastics from renewable resources
Biodegradable/compostable plastics from non-renewable resources
3. Products in accordance with sustainable development policy and evaluation criteria
Sustainable development policy evaluation model for polymer plastics
Environmental aspect
Social aspect
Economical aspect
4. Polymer plastics evaluation system for selected criteria
Compostable polymer plastics certification
Polymer plastics including renewable resources certification
Confirmation of greenhouse gases emission reduction
