id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description Project : PLAMINPACK (PRIMA Project). Duration : 24 Months. Starting date: 01/10/2024. Location: URD ABI-AgroParisTech, CEBB, 3 rue des Rouges Terres 51110 Pomacle, France. Presentation of URD ABI. URD ABI - AgroParisTech, located within the Pomacle-Bazancourt biorefinery, is a research and development unit dedicated to the valorization of agroresources and biorefinery byproducts. With expertise in white biotechnologies, green chemistry, and process engineering, the team works on multi-disciplinary research projects aiming at developing new industrial processes. These processes integrate the transformation of agricultural byproducts into high-value chemicals, including polymers and materials, fine chemicals, functional additives, and cosmetic ingredients. Presentation of the PLAMINPACK Project. The PLAMINPACK project aims to develop easily scalable bio-based packaging materials and methodologies, including nets, films, trays, and coatings made from home-compostable and antimicrobial plant sources, to reduce food loss, particularly of highly perishable items, and replace fossil-based packaging currently found in supermarkets and shops. This new packaging concept will be integrated into the circular management of farms, using specific digital tools to ensure all biomass waste is reused to produce food, packaging, feed, or amendments. The project also focuses on the stability, recyclab
