The development of the Connected-Cup System will offer a novel and integrated system to reduce carbon leakage and increase efficiency in current reusable, returnable cup schemes. This project will develop a biobased composite Intelligent Cup system, with track and trace capabilities to increase carbon leakages to bring waste closer to zero as possible.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
