Pollution and other environmental issues are a threat to life on earth. Especially plastic packaging causes a lot of damage. A UN study published in 2016 reports that small pieces of plastic bags, bottles etc. get into the oceans and cause a real threat to mankind and marine ecosystems.

It is time to make students aware of these problems and to encourage them to gain more knowledge about how to tackle these problems and find alternatives. Bioplastic packaging for food could be such a solution. The project will be carried out by 4 schools from Germany, Greece, Romania and the United Kingdom.
