EcosMed is among the five finalists for the European Bioplastic Innovation Award 2025, the award that, to celebrate its twenty years of activity, the authoritative European Bioplastic has launched with the aim of promoting the most interesting innovations driving sustainable transformation in the bioplastics sfondector. These include EcosMed’s new ecobuddy compounds, made from beer, oil and coffee production waste (spent grains, oil cake, silverskin) as part of the LIFE RESTART  project, co-funded by the European Union under the LIFE Programme, thanks in part to advanced research developed in partnership by the Department of Engineering at the University of Messina and Crossing srl, a spin-off of the Department of Molecular Sciences and Nanosystems at the University of Venice, coordinated by the Messina Foundation Philanthropic Organisation.

For two decades, EBC has been a key European platform for business, debate and knowledge exchange in the global bioplastics sector, and now aims to lead the transition to a circular economy based on bioplastics. Hence the idea of an award that aims to highlight developments that combine technological excellence with a concrete impact on sustainability and strong market relevance, to be presented during the European Bioplastics Conference (EBC25) on 2 and 3 December in Berlin. The EBC team of experts has selected the five most compelling projects, which will present their innovations in a short pitch during the Conference. We will be there too.

The winner will be chosen by live voting from the audience, both on site and online.
