The overall objective of this project is to continue to strengthen the market for biobased plastics, building on the project "Processing of biobased plastics and establishment of a competence network within the framework of the FNR biopolymer network" (KNVB), by increasing demand among product developers, consumers, processors, distributors and product packagers and by making the necessary processing-relevant data from the KNVB project (http://ifbb-knvb.wp.hs-hannover.de/db/) and subsequent projects available free of charge in a database in the future.

Conventional industrial carbon black is applied in plastics processing as a functional additive in the form of conductive carbon black, colorant or as a filler, and accounts for the third largest filler market - and the trend is still increasing.

The data base of bioplastics is still inadequate or often not easily accessible for users in a compact form. In order to establish bio-based plastics in various fields of application, fast and up-to-date information sources are required that are easily and understandably accessible. For both manufacturers and consumers, the performance of the materials has no longer been the decisive factor.

In collaboration with the companies Oberpfälzer Kunststofftechnik and Barthmann Recycling, the IfBB of the Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts intends to develop a new and innovative composite material made from (bio-)polymers and recycled cellulose fibers that can be processed by injection molding.

The undesired input of plastics into the sea will never be completely avoided, even with global disposal and avoidance strategies. At the center of the research project "Bio-based and biodegradable plastics - solution option for the marine litter problem (MabiKu)" is therefore the question for the IfBB whether and in which areas of application marin-degradable plastics can be a solution in the fight against pollution of the oceans.
