Objetive:
The RUBBIO project confronts the European Union's strategic dependency on imported rubber by developing three novel, sustainable, and circular bio-based rubber value chains within Europe. By valorizing starch-containing food waste, the project will establish efficient biomanufacturing routes to transform these low-value stream into high-performance rubber polymers.
By integrating advanced biotechnology and chemical engineering, RUBBIO will deliver sustainable rubber alternatives for different key sectors, specifically targeting applications in technical flooring and footwear. These high-quality bio-based solutions will meet rigorous market standards while directly supporting circular economy and the EU’s transition toward decarbonization.
AITIIP is the coordinator of RUBBIO, and is also in charge of the Lyfe Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the dissemination and communication strategy to maximize the impact of the project’s results.
