MicroPack
Norway is known for safe food production, but pathogenic microorganisms and food waste remain challenges that must be addressed. Through the MicroPack project, researchers will develop new knowledge on how to ensure food safety, prevent food waste, and develop circular packaging solutions that meet future sustainability requirements.

MICROORC
MICROORC will develop sustainable solutions that reduce and prevent food spoilage and food waste, with focus on technologies, services, tools, policies, and practices that are based on monitoring, utilizing, and targeting microbiomes in food and the food processing chain.
2023 - 2027
Horizon Europe (EU)
ReFiberPack
The project aims to develop new and recyclable food packaging based on recycled cellulose fibers and removable barriers, so that these two parts can be sorted separately and recycled. The new solutions will enable the use of recycled cellulose fibers for high-quality packaging applications in contact with food without compromising their next recycling.

GelPack
The aim of this project is to establish pilot-scale production of fish gelatin from salmon fish scales and assess the suitability of the extracted gelatin for food packaging applications.
2022 - 2023
MABIT
EcoeFISHent
The EcoeFISHent research project aims for a more sustainable use of marine sidestreams in Northwest Italy through collaboration between actors from the fishery and agricultural industries in the region.
2021 - 2026
EU - Horizon 2020
Sustainable Eaters
The overall goal of the project is to increase understanding of and strengthen consumers contribution to, a sustainable Norwegian food system. The research project will, among other things, map how consumer choices and behaviour have an impact on the value chain for food.

RECY-FOOD-PACK
The project aims to safeguard food safety and quality, while developing innovative plastic packaging systems that increase the use of recycled plastic and contribute to achieving Norway’s circular economy target.
2021 - 2023
Norwegian Research Council
FutureFoodControl
New challenges are constantly emerging related to microbial security and deterioration of food. At the same time, it is important to reduce both food waste and the use of plastic for food packaging.
2021 - 2024
BIOCOAT
In BIOCOAT we explore the use of sustainable, edible biocoating of probiotic cheese in combination with biodegradable packaging for extended shelf life and enhanced functionality.
