Project description

BioColEol focuses on developing bio-based dyes from curcumin and other carotenoids. These dyes will be used in biopolymers for textiles and packaging. In addition, end-of-life options for these materials will be explored. The project focuses on developing and demonstrating bio-based raw materials in packaging and textile materials, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and circularity.

The project is coordinated by Centexbel and runs from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2028
