MEIE Backs Anomera–Polytechnique Montréal Collaboration

Montreal, QC- Anomera Inc. will collaborate with Polytechnique Montréal on a new research initiative aimed at advancing biodegradable flexible packaging, thanks to a recently awarded grant from the Ministère de l’Économie, de l’Innovation et de l’Énergie du Québec (MEIE). The funding, administered through PRIMA Québec, provides $97,400 toward a total project budget of $215,960.

The project will be led by Professor Abdellah Ajji of Polytechnique Montréal, whose team will work with Anomera to integrate nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) into biodegradable plastics. By improving how NCC is dispersed within bioplastic matrices, the research aims to enhance both processing performance and key material properties, including mechanical strength and oxygen‑ and grease‑barrier capabilities. These advances are expected to significantly increase the viability of next‑generation sustainable packaging solutions.
In addition to its technological goals, the project will support the training of a postdoctoral researcher, contributing to Québec’s growing expertise in advanced materials. For Anomera, the collaboration has strong commercial implications. Access to improved bioplastic formulations is expected to open new market opportunities, which in turn would require an expansion of the company’s production facility—a development projected to generate new jobs within the province.
As a global leader in the production of nanocrystalline cellulose, Québec stands to benefit both economically and environmentally from innovations that reduce plastic waste and lower greenhouse‑gas emissions. This project underscores the province’s commihttp://Linkedintment to sustainable materials and to supporting companies that are helping shape a cleaner, more circular future.
