Davide Sanna - CEO and co-founder; Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry and Master's Degree in Chemical Sciences achieved with honors at the University of Sassari, in both study paths the thesis topics were based on the development of advanced plastic materials for applications in the biomedical field. PhD in Chemical Sciences and Technologies at the University of Cagliari whose studies were based on the development of advanced plastic materials obtained from renewable sources. Subsequently he was Post-Doc Research Fellow and Adjunct Professor at the University of Sassari for 4 years. Furthermore, he is author and co-author of 14 publications in peer-reviewed international scientific journals with impact factor and author of two patents, one of which is the basis of the Relicta project. His skills and knowledge in the field of innovative materials are fundamental in the development of the Relicta project.
PA3 - Climate-neutral, environmentally sustainable and resource-efficient blue food and feed
Relicta wants to be part of the solution to a big problem: traditional plastic pollution. Relicta's solution is a water-soluble and biodegradable packaging, made with waste from the fishing industry. The value proposition can be summarized as follows: “The product offered by Relicta is a bioplastic packaging made from fish waste, water soluble, compostable, biodegradable, transparent and odorless. Unlike other bioplastics, the raw materials used derive from processing waste and not from dedicated crops, furthermore consumers can dispose of the packaging within the home, thus reducing the energy consumption due to disposal. The solution improves eco-friendly behavior and facilitates the activation of the circular economy paradigm". We are looking for research institutes and suppliers of fish waste that can help us in the development of the bioplastic production chain for its introduction into the packaging market.
