Working since 1996 in the north of Portugal, Vizelpas SA stands out in the flexible packaging market as a company of excellence in the production of flexible technical films suitable for the food and medical-surgical industries. Vizelpas currently has a covered area of 15,000 sqm, with 210 dynamic employees, and state-of-the-art industrial equipment to adequately respond to the constant challenges of the markets and the customers’ expectations. The company also has a fully equipped laboratory that monitors and supports the company’s entire industrial activity and assists in the development of new products.
Role in the project: Working in the WP4 (Work package 4) with the leadership of Catholic University from Portugal we have the mission and objective of developing more sustainable plastics, that allow us to increase the self-life food, and reduce their waste. For this purpose, several alternatives will be tested, such as the inclusion of microbiomes in plastic films, minimizing film production processes, and optimizing the concepts of single product and single layer.
