The ZeroF project, funded by the EU and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI), has kicked off its 36-month research program with its first General Assembly and consortium meeting held in Espoo, Finland on 1-2 March 2023. The project aims to develop safe and sustainable alternatives to replace pe per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, #PFAS, in #foodpackaging and upholstery #textiles.
