SustainPack - Innovation and Sustainable Development in the Fibre Based Packaging Value Chain - SustainPack is a four year research programme with a budget of €36m. Of this, €19m is being provided by the EU's Sixth Framework Research Programme. The SustainPack project team is comprised of a consortium of 35 partners from 13 countries, representing packaging research associations, academia and industry. The purpose of SustainPack is to establish fibre-based packaging as the dominant player in the packaging area within a decade. It will achieve this by applying nanotechnology solutions to deliver lean and added value fibre-based packaging options for users and consumers.
