A lot has happened since our last update, and we are thrilled to share it all with you. ANIPH recently held its General Assembly in Murcia, where partners reviewed significant progress on bio-based materials, traceability systems, and digital tools, a strong signal that the project is moving forward with momentum.
On the scientific front, a new publicationexplores how lemon processing waste can be converted into high-quality biopolymers, demonstrating that sustainable feedstocks can compete with conventional standards. At the same time, the project has reached three major milestones: the ANIPH AI Predictive Tool, designed to support the development of safer and biodegradable plastics, the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) framework, which guides the responsible design of bio-based materials, and a comprehensive mapping of existing information and labelling systems for biobased products has also been published, laying the groundwork for clearer communication along the value chain.
ANIPH met in Murcia to review achievements and plan next steps. Our General Assembly confirmed significant progress on bio-based materials and traceability.
ANIPH has taken part in several events from the BioCircular Summit 2026 in Madrid to classrooms across Spain, reaching the current and next generation of scientists.
Together with our fellow project MAGICBIOMAT, we're launching a joint webinar series exploring how AI, design, manufacturing, and policy can drive new alternatives to conventional plastics.
