oilage. The inclusion of anthocyanins and photosensitizers will impart antibacterial properties to the films. Smart strategies will be employed to extend the shelf life of packaged food. Furthermore, artificial intelligence (AI) will be utilized to optimize material properties for enhanced performance.The films will be scaled up in a pilot plant and tested in agricultural fields and packaging applications. To achieve the ambitious goals of SUSNAMU—replacing fossil-based plastics in packaging and agriculture while mitigating global microplastic contamination—a diverse global consortium has been assembled. This consortium spans Europe (Germany, Croatia, Spain, Italy, UK), Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia), and Africa (Senegal), bringing together complementary expertise from academic, industrial institutions, necessary for the successful development and implementation of the project's goals.
