ViSS fifth newsletter
Embark on a journey to explore innovative bio-based plastics with ViSS newsletter.
Dear readers,
The ViSS project continues to advance in its mission to develop safe, sustainable, and biodegradable packaging solutions. Over the past months, the consortium has made important progress across research, policy engagement, and knowledge sharing, with new publications and resources now being released.
Two new policy briefs have recently been shared: the first on SSbD evaluation framework and recommendations for bio-based plastics and another on Recommendations on missing aspects in standardisation and regulation of bio-based materials and products. These contributions address key policy and regulatory aspects supporting the development of sustainable bio-based plastics.
In parallel, new articles and technical publications are being released, including insights into the ViSS ICT platform. To improve accessibility, all project resources are now available on Zenodo, allowing everyone to easily access the project’s results.
At the beginning of March, the ViSS consortium met to review the activities carried out in recent months and to plan the next steps. The meeting was kindly hosted by AITEX, which gave partners the opportunity to visit their facilities and learn more about their work.
Looking ahead, in April ViSS will participate in a major international conference, Polymers 2026, in Portugal.
Many more results are on the way, including new papers, infopacks, and events.
Stay tuned for more updates!
On behalf of the ViSS Team
