From Whatever Residue into Levulinic Acid – an innovative way to turn waste into resource (LIFE WALEVA)

Start date: Jun 2, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

Background Rice growers commonly deal with rice-straw waste by burning it, emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The production of rice in the European Union in 2012 amounted to 3.05 million tonnes. The amount of straw generated is 0.8 tonnes per tonne of rice produced. Thus, 3.05 million tonnes of rice equates to 2.4 million tones of this waste, r ...

Reclamation of Gallium, Indium and Rare-Earth Elements from Photovoltaics, Solid-State Lighting and Electronics Waste (RECLAIM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Prospective global supply and demand for gallium, indium and other key metals show an increasing discrepancy, amongst others due to the explosive growth of green technologies such as photovoltaics (PV) and solid-state lighting (SSL). While their primary production is highly controlled by a few countries, recycling systems to reclaim these materials from discarded products are not yet in place. Thi ...
