Project is aimed at creating new product portfolio derived from paper with new antimicrobial and thermal insulation properties. The technology will utilize waste security paper. Due to falsification concerns discarded material is used for energetic purposes only so far (i.e. is burnt). The sub-objective is the development of unique antibacterial fillers and insulating fillers exploiting PET waste materials. The technology will led to reduction of natural resources usage and is environmentally friendly owing to exploitation of recycled component materials (security paper and PET). Newly developed products with added value are designated for immediate commercialization and market entry. High quality security paper with new properties produced by Neograph a.s. will further increase competitiveness of the principal beneficiary.
