The TERRIFIC project aims to reform the packaging sector with bio-based solutions that enhance performance, circularity, and resource efficiency throughout the entire value chain, boosting the development of a bioeconomy model able to decouple the European development from the use of resources. TERRIFIC flagship biobased products showcase the potential of bioeconomy to drive ecological transition, circularity, and to reach important goals in pollution prevention and decarbonization.

TERRIFIC will demonstrate a first-of-its-kind multipurpose biorefinery to produce bio-based materials starting from sustainable, EU-sourced feedstocks, and will implement a platform of novel biomaterials responding to packaging sector needs in terms of thermal and barrier properties, while meeting technical and durability requirements. Eight flagship packaging products will be developed and validated across the entire value chain, considering different end-of-life scenarios and proposing secondary value chains based on recycled biopolymer materials for non-food packaging solutions.
