Specific Challenge:Bio-based materials are promising alternatives to fossil-based plastic counterparts in several high-volume consumer applications: for example, they can be used for transparent films, in packaging and hygiene products, non-woven products, superabsorbent polymers and reinforced bio-composites. These bio-based materials can be made biocompostable, and/or biodegradable or recyclable if not degradable, lowering the environmental burden versus fossil-based alternatives.
The specific challenge is to provide bio-based materials for high-volume consumer products with a lower environmental footprint at end of life than their fossil-based plastic counterparts.
Scope:Develop bio-based materials with functional properties for high-volume consumer products, making them perform better than fossil-based plastics in comparable applications.
Proposals should test the properties of the new bio-based materials against those of fossil-based counterparts, and prove that the end products meet market requirements and have a higher performance on relevant aspects as compared with fossil-based counterparts.

Scope:Develop bio-based materials with functional properties for high-volume consumer products, making them perform better than fossil-based plastics in comparable applications.
Proposals should test the properties of the new bio-based materials against those of fossil-based counterparts, and prove that the end products meet market requirements and have a higher performance on relevant aspects as compared with fossil-based counterparts.
Proposals should include sustainable solutions for the end-of-life phase of the resultant new bio-based products, increasing their competitive advantage as compared with their fossil-based counterparts. To that end, proposals should measure their environmental footprint at end of life and compare this with the fossil-based plastic counterparts.
Proposals may cover physical, chemical or biotechnological routes (or combinations thereof).
This topic includes any bio-based feedstock, provided it can be sourced in a way that is sustainable both from an environmental and an economic perspective.
Proposals should address all requirements for RIA as shown in Table 3 in the Introduction of the Annual Work plan 2019.
The technology readiness level (TRL) at the end of the project should be 4-5 for the bio-based value chain in question. Proposals should clearly state the starting and end TRLs of the key technology or technologies targeted in the project.
Industry participation in the project would be considered as an added value because it can play a supportive role to demonstrate the potential for integrating the developed concepts and technologies into current industrial landscapes or existing plants so they can be deployed more quickly and scaled up to apply industry-wide.
Indicative funding:
It is considered that proposals requesting a contribution of between EUR 2 million and EUR 5 million would be able to address this specific challenge appropriately. However, this does not preclude the submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
Expected Impact:Expected impacts linked to BBI JU KPIs:
contribute to KPI 1 – create at least one new cross-sector interconnection in the bio-based economy;contribute to KPI 2 – set the basis for at least one new bio-based value chain;contribute to KPI 5 – validate at least two new bio-based materials;contribute to KPI 8 – validate at least one new and improved processing technology reflecting the ‘TRL gain’ since the start of the project. Environmental impacts:
increase the environmental sustainability associated with the end of life of materials for high-volume consumer products;increase the share of sustainable and efficient bio-based materials in the field of high-volume consumer products;increase the overall resource efficiency;reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Economic impacts:
foster the future market uptake of the developed bio-based materials for high-volume consumer products;increase income and business opportunities for stakeholders and actors (including primary producers) in the bio-based sectors. Social impacts:
create new job opportunities in the bio-based sector, particularly the rural, coastal and/or urban areas. Type of action: Research and innovation action.

:
La ayuda es de ámbito europeo, puede aplicar a esta linea cualquier empresa que forme parte de la Comunidad Europea.
Características del Proyecto
Los costes de personal subvencionables cubren las horas de trabajo efectivo de las personas directamente dedicadas a la ejecución de la acción. Los propietarios de pequeñas y medianas empresas que no perciban salario y otras personas físicas que no perciban salario podrán imputar los costes de personal sobre la base de una escala de costes unitarios
Los otros costes directos se dividen en los siguientes apartados: Viajes, amortizaciones, equipamiento y otros bienes y servicios. Se financia la amortización de equipos, permitiendo incluir la amortización de equipos adquiridos antes del proyecto si se registra durante su ejecución. En el apartado de otros bienes y servicios se incluyen los diferentes bienes y servicios comprados por los beneficiarios a proveedores externos para poder llevar a cabo sus tareas
La subcontratación en ayudas europeas no debe tratarse del core de actividades de I+D del proyecto. El contratista debe ser seleccionado por el beneficiario de acuerdo con el principio de mejor relación calidad-precio bajo las condiciones de transparencia e igualdad (en ningún caso consistirá en solicitar menos de 3 ofertas). En el caso de entidades públicas, para la subcontratación se deberán de seguir las leyes que rijan en el país al que pertenezca el contratante

6. Additional requirements:
Technology readiness levels (TRL)
Members of consortium are required to conclude a consortium agreement, in principle prior to the signature of the grant agreement.
7. Open access must be granted to all scientific publications resulting from Horizon 2020 actions.
Where relevant, proposals should also provide information on how the participants will manage the research data generated and/or collected during the project, such as details on what types of data the project will generate, whether and how this data will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and preserved.
Open access to research data
The Open Research Data Pilot has been extended to cover all Horizon 2020 topics for which the submission is opened on 26 July 2016 or later. Projects funded under this topic will therefore by default provide open access to the research data they generate, except if they decide to opt-out under the conditions described in Annex L of the H2020 main Work Programme. Projects can opt-out at any stage, that is both before and after the grant signature.
Note that the evaluation phase proposals will not be evaluated more favourably because they plan to open or share their data, and will not be penalised for opting out.
Open research data sharing applies to the data needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. Additionally, projects can choose to make other data available open access and need to describe their approach in a Data Management Plan.
Projects need to create a Data Management Plan (DMP), except if they opt-out of making their research data open access. A first version of the DMP must be provided as an early deliverable within six months of the project and should be updated during the project as appropriate. The Commission already provides guidance documents, including a template for DMPs. See the Online Manual.
Eligibility of costs: costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for reimbursement during the project duration.
The legal requirements for projects participating in this pilot are in the article 29.3 of the Model Grant Agreement.
