Estelle Doineau joined the LOOP4PACK project as a post-doctoral fellow at UMR IATE in November 2021. She took the opportunity to be part of this project, from the synthesis of PHAs to the development of eco-responsible materials in the packaging application, to strengthen her skills and knowledge in this very rich field. Her role will be to implement and characterize the PHAs produced by the project partners and [...]
Mattéo Castiello – TBI – had the honor of taking part in the 7th Mixed Microbial Culture PHA, Properties and Applications Workshop, in Valencia (Spain) giving a presentation entitled “P(3HB-co-3HV) production under carbon and phosphorus-limited conditions in non-axenic two-stage continuous culture”.
The partners of the LOOP4PACK project are pleased to announce that the D2.1 deliverable, "Separation and purification of PHA: detailed protocol and influence of the method on the PHA recovery yield and purity and molar mass", is finished and has been sent to all partners on the 30/07/2021. This deliverable was written by Fanny Allayaud (INSA-CRITT Bio-Industries) and validated by Elise Blanchet (INSA-CRITT Bio-Industries), an abstract is available [...]
Exactly one year after the kick-off meeting of the project, all the partners met again for a day and a half of interdisciplinary scientific exchanges. This time, in the context of Covid19 and lock-down, the meeting was virtual but just as rich and interesting.
The partners of the LOOP4PACK project are pleased to announce that the D4.3 deliverable, “Cartography of characteristics needed for new packagings”, is finished and has been sent to all partners on the 12/06/2020. This deliverable was written by Frédéric Merle (Euramaterials), an abstract is available here.
Fanny Allayaud joined the LOOP4PACK project in January 2020. She is in charge of task 2 concerning the extraction and purification of PHA produced in task 1. We welcome her in the team! Fanny is a Biotechnology Engineer graduated in 2015 from the Polytechnic University of Marseille. She has an expertise in protein purification. Recruited at the CRITT in February 2019, she has worked on various R&D projects, [...]
The kick-off meeting of the project took place on November 18, 2019 in Leuze, Hainaut, on the Lutosa site of Mc Cain in the presence of all the partners.
Coline Perdrier started her PhD at the University of Montpellier within the IATE Joint Research Unit (Ingénierie des Agropolymères et Technologies Emergentes) in november 2019. Wishing to be able to use the power of living material to design more sustainable solutions while implementing the circular economy guide lines, she will perform her research work as part of the LOOP4PACK project. All along her PhD thesis, she will study [...]
On November 1, 2019, the LOOP4PACK (Sustainable bioplastics from agro-industrial residues to close the packaging loop) project was officially launched! > https://umr-iate.cirad.fr/projets/loop4pack
Mattéo Castiello started his thesis at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA) in Toulouse within the Toulouse Biotechnology Institute (TBI) in october 2019. He will study the strategies for obtaining polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) with controlled properties and in particular P(3HB-co-3HV) with a high HV content by selected microbial consortia in continuous cultures. His work will therefore mainly focus on task 1 with strong interactions with task 2. Mattéo [...]
