ARTIBAL participates in the Research Project “Transparent and high barrier biodegradable film and sheet for customized modified atmosphere food packaging”, BIO4MAP, with the objective to develop a high barrier multilayer transparent structure for packaging food products, namely fresh pasta and cheese. The new package will be full compostable in conditions according to the standard UNE-EN 13432 and will imply the use of agricultural waste (leaves, greenery) as a raw material source for wax based coating production.
