Description
Food waste and by-product streams generally discarded are reservoirs of unexploited compounds with huge potentials in the establishment of more sustainable food, health, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, nutraceutical, renewable biomaterials, biofuel, and energy industry sectors.
The ALGWAS-BIOR project is an EU-funded project that proposes the implementation of cascade, green and integrated biorefinery technologies that durably add commercial values to the discarded waste material with high beneficial profits. The project primarily focuses on the valorization of the organic waste stream released from the food industry and uses the algae industry as an exemplar prototype. The comprehensive biorefining concept proposed concentrates combined cutting-edge process and performant data generation supported by automated process control systems.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 898804
