Partnership:

OBJECTIVES:

To enhance the use of the knowledge generated in the

previous project VALUE by dissemination among

industrial agents in the SUDOE.

To find « ad hoc » solutions to the representative

industrial cases

To create an Excellence Transnational Pole to improve

the competitivity and the sustainable development of

the food industry

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:

To enhance the use of the knowledge generated in the

valorisation pilot studies and the technic-economic viability

To identify main valorisation solutions for vegetal, meat and

fish transformation industries.

To develop ad hoc solutions for food industries

To develop an Excellence Pole for food waste valorisation

To disseminate among food industries proposed solutions

GENERATED KNOWLEDGE:

Best Available Technologies

(BATs) guideline

Identification of the adequate

valorisation strategies for each

waste type

PROGRESS ONGOING: Updating with new BATs and new food wastes (meat, fish, etc..)

GENERATED KNOWLEDGE (II): Data Base

PROGRESS ONGOING: Incorporating in the DB: a) entities with valorisation capacity b) calculation of closest entity based on the GIS

GENERATED KNOWLEDGE (III):

Pilot experiences for food and energetic valorisation:

a) Fibre and antioxidant extraction and formulation of foods

b) Extraction of pectines

Technical and economic feasibility study was done based on data obtained in pilot experiences with

industries.

GENERATED KNOWLEDGE (IV):

Pilot experiences for food and energetic valorisation:

a) Production of bioethanol from sugar rich wastes

b) Production of biogás from vegetal waste co-digestion

Agromaterials

Technical and economic feasibility study was done based on data obtained in pilot experiences with

industries.

EXCELLENCE POLE

PROGRESS ONGOING:

Identification of agents and capacities

Interviews and meetings

Identification of main R&D lines and Working Groups

Development of a Work Plan for the Excellence Pole

focused on R&D proposal on waste valorisation in H2020

Integration in other European nets and poles
