The Technological Institute of plastics (Aimplas) participate, within the framework of the European project Biostruct, in the development of new bioplastics obtained from renewable sources reinforced with wood or cellulose, to manufacture, in ecological way, products in industrial sectors such as constructionautomotive, packaging and packaging, and the electronic.
The main objective of this European project is, according to Miguel Angel Valera, principal investigator of the project, "manufacture, from these new materials, products from sustainable alternatives to 100% from renewable sources, to replace raw from non-renewable sources such as oil-based".
One of the main applications of these innovative materials is the replacement of traditional plastics in appliances, an industry which, according to recent data from INE, generates a production value of more than 96 million euros in Spain
