Magno EU Project
Packaging and Containers Manufacturing
Transforming EU food systems with innovative strategies for sustainable packaging
About us
As Europe shifts to a bio-based circular economy, a plethora of new packaging restrictions have emerged. MAGNO seeks to improve packaging effectiveness, sustainability, efficient usage, end-of-life (reuse and recycling), and innovative business practices in EU food systems through revolutionary strategies shaped for the ecological transition required by the European Green Deal and EU 2030 climate target plan. These strategies will strengthen the EU food and packaging policy frameworks at a local and regional level. They will also increase social innovation, consumer participation and acceptance of new packaging designs and production models in cross-border food value chains through a web platform and a series of citizen science tools. At the beginning of the project, an overview of Europe’s ecosystems and value chains for different kinds of plastic packaging will be studied. A detailed quantification of impacts and solutions in terms of health, environment, raw materials, and sustainability will then be developed to set the basis of an Ecosystem Digital Twin software. The Digital Twin will be programmed to support the analysis of different scenarios which contributes by not only providing ground-breaking strategies for improving the packaging sector but also identifying the best options in terms of innovative business. The whole project will be supported by the active participation of food multi-actors (researchers, food business operators, food packaging producers, developers of sustainable packaging, packaging converters and recyclers, consumers, and local and regional authorities). Their contribution to the creation of results and validation of the final strategies will prevent and reduce plastic packaging pollution for the food and packaging sectors.

👂 You’ve probably heard of #PracticeAbstracts by now, but what are they really about? 🤔 Think of it as a shortcut where we share key insights, lessons, and ideas, making complex topics easier to digest 💡 And at Magno EU Project, we’ve already published 4 of them 📰 ♻️ These cover things like how #plastics and #microplastics mess with the #environment, why the #circular model is a game-changer for #FoodPackaging, how we’re using #AI and #NLP algorithms to handle data, and what #business models can help us cut down on #waste 🌍📊 👀 If you’re curious, check out the link to the article on our site, where we’ve got a quick rundown of each one 👌

👵 Your grandma had a collection of glass jars she refused to throw away—because she always found a use for them 🫙 You? You buy a #bottle of water, drink it, toss it, and buy another one. And you do this almost every single day. At Magno EU Project, we’re rethinking #business models to cut down on #waste. 💡 Imagine buying #food in #packaging you can #return and #refill. 🔄 Using durable, #reusable containers (and yes, keeping all the glass jars 😉). 🌍 Or even better—what if packaging was #safe and #sustainable by design? This isn’t a far-off dream. Check out Practice Abstract 4 to learn more about it! 🚀 #SSbD #MagnoProject #FoodPackaging

⭐At Magno EU Project, we're on top of it. 📉 When you’re dealing with massive amounts of #data, having the right #tools is key to staying on track. That’s why in the project we use #NLP algorithms and integrate them into our #DigitalTwin with tools like Retrieval Augmented Generation (aka #RAG) 🖥️ 🤔We know all these terms might sound like gibberish, but if you want to understand how this #AI-powered tool is driving a #smarter, more #sustainable #FoodPackaging value chain, check out our Practice Abstract 3 “MAGNO on AI and NLP as Drivers for a More Sustainable Food Packaging Value Chain.” ♻️ It's explained much better there! 😉

📅Tomorrow is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We are proud to say that our project has good gender equity and that many of our main scientists are women! 👩🔬 👉We know, however, that this doesn’t happen in most of the scientific environments, where gender equity is still an unfinished business. Let’s work for a more inclusive, equal, world! Not only in science but in the entire society. And not only one day but every day of the year!💪 https://lnkd.in/dCeQEN2 VTT, University of Vaasa, Kemijski inštitut - National Institute of Chemistry, REMONDIS Recycling, Helsingin seudun ympäristöpalvelut HSY, GreenDelta GmbH, Sustainable Innovations (SIE), Plastics Recyclers Europe, Ekokumppanit Oy - Ecofellows Ltd., Pirkanmaan Jätehuolto, Veolia, Braskem, reCIRCLE AG CIMPA, Sol-Rec 2 Project, CIRCULAR FoodPack, Magno EU Project, ViSS project, REBIOLUTION_project, PRIMUS Project EU, New ERA - New European Reuse Alliance

⭕ The future is circular. Maybe you've heard of the #CircularEconomy but never really stopped to think about what it means. Why does it matter? How does it benefit us as a #society? 💭 💡In our Practice Abstract No. 2: "Circular Approach for the #FoodPackaging Value Chain", we break down the difference between the #LinearEconomy (take, make, #waste) and the circular economy (#reuse, #recycle, #repurpose)♻️ The shift from one to the other is necessary, and it’s already happening. At Magno EU Project, we’re working to make this transition easier, helping the food packaging sector embrace a more #sustainable and profitable #future.🌍 Less waste, lower impact, and new opportunities ⭐ ⭕The future is circular—just like this post 😉

⚠️ Every #cigarette you smoke, every #unhealthy meal you eat, every hour spent sitting—it all adds up. We don’t have control over many factors that affect our #health, but we can control what we do. Non-communicable diseases (#NCDs) are one of the leading causes of #death worldwide, and the culprits are risk factors like #tobacco use 🚬, #obesity 🍔, #alcohol consumption 🍷, poor #diet 🥦, and lack of physical #activity 🏃♀️. The good news? You don’t have to be a healthcare professional to take action! ✅ In our new article, you’ll discover the impact of each of these risk factors on global populations and learn simple actions you can take to reduce their effects 🌱 It’s not just about global statistics – it’s about our #communities, our neighborhoods, and the #future of our health 🏡 #UrbanHealth #ActiveCities #Diabetes

🚨 50 million tonnes of #plastic are produced in the #EU every year. That’s a lot of #trash. But where does it all go? Spoiler: Not where it should. 🌊 Into the ocean. 🌱 Into the soil. 🍽️ Into our food. The EU has a plastic tax, yet single-use #waste keeps piling up. So, is it really working? Or is the price of #pollution still too cheap? 🤔 Less plastic. Smarter #packaging. Real solutions. Check out our latest article to see what’s at stake and what needs to change. #SustainableChoices #FoodPackaging
