This workshop presents the W2BC project, its goals, structure, and key achievements in bio-based value chains. It highlights Propagroup’s work on PHA-based flexible films, addressing blow extrusion challenges and multilayer blends. Participants will explore results in flexible packaging, including material selection, process optimisation, and the production of fully compostable films.
