Joanna Grzelczyk, Dr Eng. Ilona Gałązka-Czarnecka and Dr Eng. Joanna Oracz from the Institute of Food Technology and Analysis of the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences of the Lodz University of Technology have developed packaging made of plant raw materials. Their technology assumes the use of even 65-90 percent various vegetable production waste in the production of disposable packaging and tableware.        

Their production methods and developed formulas assume the use of only natural raw materials, without the use of chemical compounds. The introduction of these solutions allowed the scientists to design an innovative edible packaging made of plant material, waste.

They submitted their solution to the Polish Patent Office and for the competition “I have an idea for a startup” organized by the Łódź City Hall.
