Outline

DIBBIOPACK _ Open Event 24th February 2


• The efficient integration of developed biodegradablematerials, optimized processes and smart devicespreviously developed.

• The selection of the best conditions combinationsregarding technical parameters, end users andconsumers expectations, safety and sustainabilityaspects and their optimization.

• The pilot plan selection of three practical packagingsolutions, combining main technologies and processesdeveloped in the project and filling with the food,pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry requirements.

Objectives of the Demonstration

Phase of the Project



• Injection Moulding pilot line for COSMETIC JAR

• Sited in Zaragoza, AITIIP Facilities.

• 2 Moulds, one for Cap, one for Jar, manufactured in Slovenia byTEHNOS.

• Injection Moulding machine JSW 85 Tons, electric, high precision,low energy consumption.

• Machine and mould prepared for In Mould Labeling throughvacuum.

Pilot Lines Set-up



• Extrusion-Blow Moulding pilot line for PHARMA BOTTLE

• Sited in Zaragoza, AITIIP Facilities.

• 2 Moulds, one for Cap (IM), one for bottle (EBM), manufacturedby AITIIP

• Extrusion Blowing machine Labtech LBM 125, laboratory scale.


Pilot Lines Set-up



• Injection Moulding pilot line for FOOD TRAY

• Sited in Slovenia, TEHNOS Facilities.

• 1 Mould manufactured by TEHNOS

• Injection machine Krauss Maffei KM160/SP750CX.


Pilot Lines Set-up



Cosmetic Jar - Specifications


- Compostable and biodegradable improved PLA for IM- Final use: Cosmetic cream- Closure: Fit- Special features:

o apart from biodegradability of the product: biodegradable label placed usingIML on the inner side of cap and jar and/or outer side of jar (transparent)

o Can be manufactured using chemical foaming or not, reducing its weightdepending of the needs


Cosmetic Jar – Functionalities and improvements


- The material is mechanically improved and at room temperature it remainsstable.

- The material opacity can be customised.- Possibility of external label using In Mould Labelling process aiming information

or decoration- Possibility of internal label using In Mould Labelling process, separating the

content from the material with nanoadditives and avoiding the contact withnanoparticles and/or adding antimicrobial

- An internal label can be placed also on the cap, offering the opportunity ofadding a RFID device for traceability.

- It has an easy friction fit with a small clip at theend of the joint, avoiding leakage but alsoreducing complexity on the manufacturing mould(The mould cost affects directly to the part price)

- The jar can have the possibility to be ligher due tofoaming process

- The design is improved to be stackable (bothparts, jar and cap)


Pharmaceutical Bottle - Specifications


- Material: Compostable and biodegradable improved PLA for EBM- Final use: pills or syrup (TBD)- Closure: screwed cap and bottle

Special features:• Apart biodegradability of the product: biodegradable label placed IML onthe outer side.• To ensure sealability, an oxygen scavenger seal on the inner side of caphas been added


Pharmaceutical Bottle - Functionalities


- Reduced weight and improved mechanical properties and stable at roomtemperature.

- The material is not translucent in order to reduce the light to affect contentproperties, but can be translucent and/or coloured..

- Possibility of external biodegradable label using In Mould Labelling processaiming information or decoration, as well as the possibility to add a RFIDantenna for traceability.

- The cap contents oxygen scavenger seal on the inner side with the aim ofensuring sealability.


Food Tray - Specifications


Manufactured by injection moulding, making this tray heavier (more wall thickness) than thestandard, but also stronger, resistant and with a high barrier against gases.- Material: Compostable and biodegradable improved PLA for IM- Final use: prepared food (poultry burguer meat)- Closure: Barrier Film- Special features:

- Labels on the inside of the tray have antimicrobial properties- Closure PLA-based film has superb barrier properties, having three coatings (organic-

inorganic-organic) on the outside and an not 100% biodegradable but very thin coatingto allow the film adhesion to the tray

- RFID Oxygen sensor that turns blue when content of oxygen on the inside is higherthan 2%


Food Tray - Functionalities


- This particular geometry and final performance can offer more than one use forthe tray.

- The material is mechanically improved and at room temperature it remainsstable.

- The material is translucent, but can be opaque and/or colored

- It has an internal label using In Mould Labelling process, separating the contentfrom the material with nanoadditives and avoiding the contact with nanoparticlesand/or adding antimicrobial


Food Tray - Functionalities


- The film lid has improved barrier properties against oxygen and water vapour,increasing the shelf life of the goods packed on the tray.

- The oxygen sensor will provide information to the final user about the conditionof the content. In a controlled atmosphere, where the oxygen content should bebelow 2%, the end user can check easily if the content is in good or badcondition just with a visual check.

- The RFID tag communicates with an external device, storing information aboutthe status of the package and any other data we want to transfer, improving thetraceability of the package.


Food Tray – Extra developments
