31 oktober 2013

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the 2013 recipients of EPA's People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) Phase I grants. 40 teams of graduate and undergraduate students are each receiving a $15,000 grant for research proposals that develop solutions to real-world environmental challenges.
As one of the recipients the University of Massachusetts team will develop biodegradable food packaging as an alternative to non-degradable plastics. The goal of this research project is to develop and test a bio based packaging solution with significantly improved barrier properties, especially to oxygen and water vapor (Nieuwsbericht Packaging Digest, 28 oktober 2013).
