Pro-Enrich project will demonstrate a new business model for extracting high-value components from agricultural side streams, demonstrating...

Agro-industrial residual biomass, side streams and food production by-products such as legumes, fungi and coffee are likely to constitute rich sources...

A growing population means a growing demand for protein. However, we can no longer fully depend on animal sources to meet our protein needs; it is...

PROMISEANG aims to develop novel proteins from underexploited marine sources, including marine invertebrate and macroalgae discards and industrial...

Known as biodegradable or renewable materials, bioplastics are one of the most in-demand bio-based products. However, there is a need to improve the...

Recent global geopolitical challenges highlight the importance of diversifying protein sources for food security and sustainability. Reducing...

Bio-based plastics offer an eco-friendly alternative to fossil-based ones, with the potential for efficient recycling through chemical...

Brown macroalgae, particularly L. hyperborea, are an untapped renewable resource in Europe that can be used to produce a variety of products...

PROVIDES will develop a new, sustainable and techno-economically feasible pulping technology for wood and agro-based lignocelluloses. Using a new...

In 2014, Europe produced around 13 million tonnes of sugar beet pulp each year. Most of this pulp finds its way into low-value feed, fertiliser or it...

The PULPACKTION project developed cellulose-based packaging solutions for the specific demands of the food and electronic packaging industries...

The agricultural sector is a pillar of global food production. At the same time, it accounts for over 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe alone...

The plastic industry is currently focused on linear processes, namely the extraction of raw materials and their conversion into valuable products...

Plastics dominate the packaging sector, and their use in the agri-food value chain dominates the demand for plastic packaging. Of a global production...

Global warming caused by greenhouse gases (GHGs) is one of the greatest challenges and concerns for humanity. Atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are...

Thanks to the development and implementation of several innovative technologies with a strong focus on the efficient use of energy, water and...

RefuCoat seeks to develop hybrid bio-based high oxygen/water barrier and active coatings to be used in monolayer bio-based packaging (films and trays)...

The automotive industry is constantly looking for new materials in order to reduce the vehicle weight and comply with legislation while Buildings...

EU reliance on synthetic and fossil-based mineral fertilisers, with 9.8 million tonnes of nitrogen and 1.1 million tonnes of phosphorous used in EU28...

Modern agriculture depends on fertilisers to sustain productivity, but the delivery of nutrients to crops, especially through non-biodegradable...
