🌊♻️ Introducing Relicta – BlueTech Competition 2024 ♻️🌊 Meet Relicta - Innovation of Packaging, an innovative startup from Italy that emerged from the academic and research environment of the Università degli Studi di Sassari. 🇮🇹🎓 Relicta is tackling the pressing issue of plastic pollution by developing a groundbreaking water-soluble bioplastic made from fish waste. 🐟 Key Features: - Water-Soluble Bioplastic: The bioplastic, derived from fish skin, dissolves in water, offering a novel and eco-friendly disposal method. - Compostable and Biodegradable: Unlike conventional plastics, Relicta’s bioplastic is fully compostable and biodegradable, significantly reducing environmental impact. - Transparent and Odorless: The plastic film is clear and odorless, making it ideal for various packaging solutions. 🌍 Environmental Impact: Relicta is leveraging the unique properties of their bioplastic to combat plastic pollution. By focusing on the material’s ease of disposal and biodegradability, they have transformed a potential drawback into a compelling feature for sustainable packaging solutions. This innovation not only helps reduce plastic waste but also promotes a circular economy by utilizing fish processing waste. Relicta’s innovative approach exemplifies how academic research can lead to practical solutions for global environmental challenges. Their water-soluble bioplastic is a significant step towards a more sustainable future, where packaging materials do not harm our oceans and ecosystems.

🌍 Green Tech: soluzioni tecnologiche per un futuro sostenibile A noi di OverApp piace fare rete e sostenere le realtà che meritano visibilità. Perciò oggi, 5 giugno, giorno in cui si celebra la Giornata Mondiale dell'Ambiente, cogliamo l’occasione per lanciare la nostra rubrica #GreenTech per riflettere su come la tecnologia possa proteggere e preservare il nostro pianeta. Iniziamo da una start up del territorio che utilizza un processo avanzato per trasformare i rifiuti della lavorazione del pesce in bioplastica solubile in acqua. Questo tipo di innovazione rientra nel campo delle biotecnologie e dei materiali sostenibili, che sono cruciali per affrontare le sfide ambientali contemporanee. La start-up si chiama “Relicta - Innovation of Packaging” ed è nata grazie all’idea di cinque giovani sardi. Questo materiale rappresenta una soluzione ecologica ai problemi della plastica tradizionale. La missione di Relicta - Innovation of Packaging è ridurre l'inquinamento plastico, trasformando i rifiuti in risorse preziose per l'ambiente.

Il nostro CEO, Davide Sanna, Ph.D. illustra a #studioapertomag gli ultimissimi sviluppi del progetto Relicta - Innovation of Packaging grazie anche al supporto di Sardegna Ricerche e illustrando come nel percorso di crescita della nostra startup sia stata fondamentale la rete di acceleratori di CDP Venture Capital SGR, in particolare Terra Next Accelerator coordinato da Cariplo Factory! Buon ascolto👌🏼 https://lnkd.in/d2p9m6Ua
