BioLyftet 2023

Purpose and goal:

BioLyftet is an educational effort for small and medium-sized companies with the goal of increasing knowledge about bio-based, recycled and recyclable materials. During 2023, BioLyftet´s basic courses has been arranged at three locations physically. In the basic course, the companies have learned more about sustainable materials, received coaching on how they can change their material use and developed a practical plan for how changes can take place.

BioLyftet has also organized two focus days where the participants received training and coaching on sustainable packaging and LCA Expected results and effects: Biolyftet helps companies not only learn about bio-based and recycled

materials, but also create a plan to practically begin the transition to a more sustainable material use. By helping more smaller companies become more sustainable, they will be able to become more competitive in the future while contributing to reduced resource wastage and the use of less climate-harming materials. This leads to a better knowledge of materials and a more sustainable Swedish industry.

Approach and implementation:

The training is carried out over two days where the participants receive both theoretical lectures on different materials and practical workshop sessions where the participants are coached with the help of experts to understand how they can change their use of materials. This approach to the training has received a positive response from the participants as they feel that it is not only a theoretical training but they also get help with their specific materials and products.
