their sustainable disposal or reuse;<\/li>\n<li>the increasing contamination of water and soil by non-biodegradable fossil plastics, and the consequent damage to natural ecosystems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In 2018 B-Plas, a spin-off University of Bologna, designs and builds its first experimental plant thanks to the B-Plas Demo project, funded by the EIT Climate-KIC
