Biorefining and circular economy for sustainability

Description

The project focuses on developing renewable‑based products and circular‑economy technologies, emphasizing efficient waste valorization, production of biostimulants and biopesticides, advanced catalytic processes, plastic recycling, and energy recovery.

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

Need for efficient technologies to convert agricultural, animal and forestry waste into valuable products, reducing environmental burdens and improving resource use.

Objective

Develop integrated biorefining and circular‑economy technologies that convert agricultural, animal, forestry and industrial waste into valuable bio‑based products, including biostimulants, biopesticides, catalysts, and recycled materials, supporting sustainable and low‑impact resource use.
