As part of the activities surrounding the PLAMINPACK meeting, participants had the opportunity to visit the URD ABI laboratories at AgroParisTech in Pomacle.
Ahead of the PLAMINPACK consortium meeting, partners had the opportunity to visit the Cristanol biorefinery in the Champagne region of France, thanks to the generous hospitality of Florant Allais, Morad Chadni, and Clémence Rotolo from AgroParisTech URD ABI.
We are delighted to announce the publication of our latest research paper:
"PLA/PBSA Biocomposites Reinforced with Tangerine Tree-Derived Agro-Industrial Waste for Rigid Packaging: Effect of Extraction Treatment on Morphology and Thermo-Mechanical Performance."
This work represents an important milestone in the PLAMINPACK project, demonstrating how agricultural waste can be successfully valorized within a biocircular economy approach
On 4 June 2026, a keynote lecture on PLAMINPACK’s activities in biopolymer and composite processing was delivered at the PPS-41 Congress in Paestum, Salerno.
Cadi Ayyad University (UCA) organized UCA Innovation Week 2026, an event dedicated to promoting research, innovation, and knowledge transfer by bringing together researchers, students, and socio-economic stakeholders. The initiative aimed to highlight innovative projects, strengthen collaboration between academia and industry, and showcase scientific advances addressing current societal and environmental challenges.
As part of this event, Prof. Guendouz and Aboudia team participated through the presentation of two scientific posters. The first poster presented Doha Quebouch’s PhD research work, while the second featured a PLAMINPCK project presentation, with a few minor updates made for the occasion.
Our latest paper, “Hesperidin-enriched extracts for active food packaging from tangerine agro-industrial by-products using subcritical water extraction and resin purification,” has just been published!
Developed in the PLAMINPACK project, this work highlights a sustainable approach to valorizing tangerine by-products by extracting bioactive compounds for use in active food packaging—bringing us one step closer to more circular and eco-friendly solutions in the food industry.
On March 25, a webinar titled “From Agro-Food Waste to Sustainable Solutions” was held, featuring the projects PLAMINPACK, FoWRSaP, and Oli4Food. The session explored the broader framework of the topic, highlighted ongoing project developments, and discussed future perspectives in transforming agro-food waste into sustainable solution
The paper recently published enitled "Optimised Extraction of Bioactives from Strawberry Lignocellulosic Byproducts for Edible Active Coatings in Fresh Fruits Preservation" was selected for being in the cover of Polysaccharides MDPI current issue. Click here to know more.
