As Europe shifts to a bio-based circular economy, a plethora of new packaging restrictions have emerged. MAGNO seeks to improve packaging effectiveness, sustainability, efficient usage, end-of-life (reuse and recycling), and innovative business practices in EU food systems through revolutionary strategies shaped for the ecological transition required by the European Green Deal and EU 2030 climate target plan. These strategies will strengthen the EU food and packaging policy frameworks at a local and regional level. They will also increase social innovation, consumer participation and acceptance of new packaging designs and production models in cross-border food value chains through a web platform and a series of citizen science tools. At the beginning of the project, an overview of Europe’s ecosystems and value chains for different kinds of plastic packaging will be studied. A detailed quantification of impacts and solutions in terms of health, environment, raw materials, and sustainability will then be developed to set the basis of an Ecosystem Digital Twin software. The Digital Twin will be programmed to support the analysis of different scenarios which contributes by not only providing ground-breaking strategies for improving the packaging sector but also identifying the best options in terms of innovative business. The whole project will be supported by the active participation of food multi-actors (researchers, food business operators, food packaging producers, developers of sustainable packaging, packaging converters and recyclers, consumers, and local and regional authorities). Their contribution to the creation of results and validation of the final strategies will prevent and reduce plastic packaging pollution for the food and packaging sectors.

From 15 to 17 October the 3rd International Conference One Health was held in Athens (Greece) and Magno EU Project was there. Our project was presented by Professor Mohamed Banni (PhD) within his conference 'New insights into the Effects of microplastics of human health: a one health concept' in which the importance of #microplastics in #health was highlighted and with it, the MAGNO project to improve the #packaging of all #foods and with it, its impact on human health. In addition, he encouraged all attendees to become part of the MAGNO Multi-actor Community ♻ . A network that unites all the parts of the food packaging value chain and if you are not yet a part of it, we recommend that you get involved right now. We leave you more information about MAGNO's presentation at this event here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dsjmi93w ... and we also share the form for you to engage with the MAGNO Multi-Actor Community!♻ 👉 https://lnkd.in/dSY-UcD9 #circulareconomy #zeropollution #foodpackaging #plasticpollution

EU Commission is looking for #Bioeconomy Youth Ambassadors. If you are between 18-30 years old and would like to learn from peers, gain visibility for your initiatives and participate in EU events widespreading the benefits of bioeconomy, you can apply until november 9th!
Did you know that today, in 2024, the #sustainablepackaging market is valued at USD 9.67 billion? ♻ We share with you information from the report "Sustainable Packaging Market Industry Trends and Global Forecasts to 2035: Distribution by Eco-Friendly Packaging Type, Packaging Type, Packaging Container Type, End-User Type and Key Geographic Regions", focused on the #pharmaceuticalindustry but which could well be applied to other #packagingindustries. 💊 Packaging suppliers are developing innovative solutions that use environmentally friendly raw materials. In the pharmaceutical industry, some companies have completely eliminated the need for secondary packaging, such as Syreen pre-filled syringes made from cyclic olefin polymer (COP). #Sustainablepackaging materials can decompose naturally and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, making them a more attractive option for the healthcare industry. All sectors are looking for ways to make packaging more sustainable for a better future. Here you can find more details of this report 👉 https://lnkd.in/dXVwJU_M #circulareconomy #zeropollution #foodpackaging #plasticpollution
Exciting event for 2025! Save the date! 📅 The International Refill & Reuse Trade Fair i will be held in Paris from 25 to 27 May. ♻ This event will bring together #industry leaders in the reuse value chain, facilitating the transition from local to global exposure. It is organised by Réseau Vrac et Réemploi (French association for reuse and recharging) and New ERA - New European Reuse Alliance, the trade association representing the interests of companies offering, using and promoting #reusable #packaging systems, services and products throughout Europe. 🌍 It will be an excellent platform for #reuse and #recharging companies to showcase #innovativesolutions. A place to promote reuse standards and thus support and encourage the abandonment of single-use packaging. A very interesting event for Magno EU Project!! 💚 More information on this event can be found at 👉 https://lnkd.in/eMJdjDTb
