Started in October 2013, the project involves development of a varnish with antimicrobial, oxygen and water vapour barrier properties and improved physic mechanical properties that can be used in food industry.

"The project involves development of a varnish with antimicrobial, oxygen and water vapour barrier properties."

Eight entities from different EU countries were included in the project consortium, comprising technological centres Aido from Spain, Matri from the UK and Nofima from Norway.

The companies in the consortium include Artibal from Spain, A Hatzopoulos from Greece, Snano from Turkey, Aroma Praha from Czech Republic and Ferrero from Italy.
