02 Jan 2023 --- Spanish biotechnology research group Aimplas is converting used coffee grounds into plastic film. The group says the project is another step toward circularizing the European economy by turning biological waste into resources – one of the main objectives of the European WaysTUP! project financed by the Horizon H2020 program. Nuria López, the project’s principal investigator at Aimplas, explains: “WaysTUP! is a clear example of how biowaste can play an important role in the transition toward a circular economy by avoiding biowaste generation and harnessing its potential as a source of high-value secondary resources.”
