#SATISPHACTION is a European project funded by the European Commission through the European Innovation Council creating breakthrough, fully biodegradable PHA-based materials to replace fossil plastics in food packaging. Funded under Horizon Europe's Challenge for nature-inspired alternatives, we tackle high costs and processing limits of PHAs through innovative upcycling—turning them into high-performance, circular solutions that reduce plastic waste and microplastics. 

𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡
We develop chemical and biotic recycling processes (with computational support) to upcycle PHAs. New formulations feature higher PHA content, no harmful additives, and thermostable enzymes for faster self-degradation—enabling advanced fabrication methods.

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
We prove viability in three real-world food packaging use cases:
- Thermoforming: Durable, moulded food trays from enhanced PHA.
- Thermosealing: Strong, safe seals for flexible sachets.
- Bio-adhesives: Biodegradable labels for fruits/vegetables with reliable bonding.
Full biodegradation is validated in soil, freshwater, and marine environments, plus complete lifecycle impact assessment.

Coordinated by AINIA (Spain), our European consortium advances deep-tech toward proof-of-concept for a sustainable food packaging future—aligned with EU Green Deal and bioeconomy goals.
