This project seeks to transform tomato fruit peels from processing industries into bioplastics by mimicking the plant cuticle. It aims to develop sustainable materials that leverage the natural properties of tomato peels, addressing waste and promoting eco-friendly alternatives.
This proposal aims to develop an integral re-exploitation of the tomato fruit peels from processing tomato industries.
In particular, the project is focus on the bio-mimicry of the plant cuticle, in order to obtain bioplastics with commercial purposes.
Tomato fruits were chosen for, first, their high proportion of cuticular components, second, the inexpensive price of their peel, and, third, the high industrial volume of work (European tomato processing industry processed 11,380,100 tonnes of ra…
