Agri and food waste valorisation co-ops based on flexible multi-feedstocks biorefinery processing technologies for new high added value applications (AgriMax)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2020,

Approximately one third of all food produced globally is wasted every year throughout the whole value chain-from farmers to consumers. To extract the significant amounts of valuable compounds contained in these wastes, AgriMax will combine affordable and flexible processing technologies (ultrasound assisted and solvent extraction, filtration, thermal and enzymatic treatments) for the valorization ...

BIOCOPAC: Sustainable bio-based coating from tomato processing by-products for food metal packaging (LIFE BIOCOPACPlus)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2017,

Background Lacquers for foodstuff packaging mainly consist of petroleum derivatives, with epoxy resin being the most widely utilised component. The use of a petrol-based lacquer increases the carbon footprint of a packaging company by 0.4% for each kilogram of metallic cans produced; 90% of this impact is linked to the production of the epoxy resin that c ...
