Within the BARBARA project, new bio-based materials with innovative functionalities were developed through the manufacture of fused filaments (3D printing). Food waste and agricultural by-products, including lemon or pomegranate peels, were used to purify pigments, fragrances, reinforcing agents or biocidal compounds, which will be incorporated into engineering bioplastics derived from the corn processing industries.

These new materials were transformed into prototypes with customized properties (mechanical and thermal resistance, surface appearance or color, fragrance release or self-disinfecting surfaces) to be validated for use in two highly demanding sectors such as construction and automotive.
