Launch of the ANR TWINLOOP project: towards safe and sustainable recycled plastics for food packaging

TWINLOOP aims to:

• Develop tools for risk analysis, classification and assessment
• Optimize recycling processes and propose pilot industrial solutions
• Develop a methodological guide for manufacturers and authorities

The project is structured into 5 complementary workpackages, covering:

• WP1: Sample collection and creation of a chemical signal library - ONIRIS and LNE
• WP2: Classification of materials via chemometrics and artificial intelligence - INRAE and Université de Rouen
• WP3: Toxicological assessment and safety of materials - INERIS
• WP4: Development of pilot-scale technological solutions - CTCPA
• WP5: Structuring, communication and dissemination - ANIA

The plays a key role in the project, notably by being involved in:

• The WP1, for the development of analytical methods and the creation of a library of reference chemical signals
.
• The WP2, for the analysis of complex data (chemometrics, AI) applied to materials classification
.
• The WP3, in connection with regulatory complianceand risk assessment
• And more broadly in guide writing and industrial transfer (WP4)

With its expertise in , LNE is actively contributing to the scientific reliability and robustness of the project results.

Stay tuned to follow the project's progress over the coming months!
