Sobre nosotros
15 partners from 7 EU countries work together to transform waste from the poultry industry into bio-based products for agricultural applications. The UNLOCK project, funded by the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU), aims at designing economically and environmentally sustainable innovative value chains to create a feather based bio-economy. In the course for the four-years project, the feathers will be valorised through four different processes, from mechanical treatment to steam explosion, microbial fermentaion or chemical hydrolysis, depending on the type of end products desired. The bio-based products generated will be tailored to the needs of the agriculture sector, with the creation of seed trays, nonwoven geotextiles, mulch films and hydroponic foams. Futhermore, the keratin contained in those innovative materials will bring additional environmental benefits at the end of the product’s life: keratin-based materials are targeted to be zero waste and allow for controlled biodegradability, while also enriching soils with organic nitrogen. The UNLOCK project is lead by the CIDETEC Foundation. It receives funding from the @EU_H2020 Research & Innovation Programme granted by @BBI2020 under grant agreement nº 101023306. It officially started on 1st May 2021 and will run until April 2025.

From feathers to microfibers This week the Bioextrax AB team produced #microfibers from #feathers in our upscaling facility. The microfibers play a vital role in the UNLOCK_project which is funded by the EU. It is a project we are excited to be part of as it aims to unlock the potential of waste feathers from the poultry sector.
