AMBER is delighted to announce the successful Horizon European Innovation Council (EIC) 2022 Pathfinder grant application by Dr Sibu Chullanayil Padmanabhan. This is the only EIC Pathfinder Open won in Ireland this year.
The successful proposal, titled “Proof of principle fly larvae biorefinery for biopolymer plastic production” ( BioLaMer) seeks to manage and utilise food waste to develop biopolymers and added-value bioplastic products which in turn can contribute to the reduction via an alternative of petroleum plastics which along with food waste is a significant glocal challenge with regards to climate change.
