Read through the latest developments of the project, and the assessment for its final phase
Dear reader,
Welcome back to Agro2Circular, with our 5th newsletter!
In the last few months, many things have happened: keep reading for discovering the project’s updates and news.
Agro2Circular consortium has gathered in Granada- Spain for their biannual general assembly meeting, where partners have shown their latest developments in the last phase of the project.
CNTC and DOMCA presented the scale-up of the extraction technologies for obtaining bioactives that have been used in the development of various food formulations; juices enriched in fibre and flavonoids, desserts, jams and vegan burgers with high fibre content and nutraceutical formulations with antioxidant properties. DOMCA organised an open day where the A2C consortium and relevant stakeholders had the opportunity to visit its facilities and see the microwave-assisted extraction technology demonstrator (DEMO 3).
All the technologies for the upcycling of multilayer metallised plastic packaging have been developed, the GWC decontamination process, the IRIS optical sorting of metallised and not metallised fractions, the saperatec delamination of multilayer films, the EPOCH enzymatic degradation of plastic fractions. These technologies are currently being integrated in a demonstrator (DEMO 1) that will be shown in an open-day to be organised in Murcia next March.
UNIMIB presented the processes developed for the bioconversion of the plastic enzymatic degradation products and fruit waste into building blocks, by using yeast , a technology that will be part of the demonstrator 2.
