🚀 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬! 🌱 At the 19th Netherlands Process Technology Symposium (NPS 19), Rima Mahmoud and Qian Zhou, researchers at MNEXT, presented their latest findings in extracting valuable compounds from cashew nutshells. These findings within the Totally Nuts project bring us closer to creating biobased, circular materials from what was once considered waste. By isolating anacardic acid and cardanol, we're unlocking new possibilities for sustainable, high-performance thermoset resins, with potential applications beyond the cashew industry such as pharmaceuticals and agriculture. 🌍 This project shows how we can turn industrial by-products into valuable resources. Stay tuned for more updates! #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #BiobasedMaterials #Innovation #ProcessTechnology #TotallyNuts #CashewShells #GreenTech

Looking for a summer read in the bioeconomy sector? ☀️ Check out the insightful article from our partner MetGen, perfect for your reading list! 📚 Learn about the role of enzymes in fibre-based packaging. Did you know that conventional chemical treatments for FBP are energy-intensive and emit high levels of greenhouse gases? 🌡️ Enzymatic treatments, however, operate at lower temperatures and near-neutral pH, saving energy and reducing emissions. What are the benefits of proper enzyme use? It enables enterprises to: 🟢 Decrease their carbon footprint and operational costs. 🟢 Promote a more sustainable production cycle. At REDYSIGN Project, we recognize that this shift not only helps achieve environmental goals but also meets the increasing demand for greener packaging. ♻️ 👉 https://lnkd.in/dBeXD7G7 TECNALIA Research & Innovation | Zabala Innovation Europe | PackBenefit | MetGen | Eroski | Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre | Valmet | Fibenol | McAirlaid's Vliesstoffe GmbH | HOLOSS | VTT | RISE PFI | FENIX TNT  #RecyclableByDesign #Enzymes #Bioeconomy #BiobasedMaterials #SmartPackaging #FBP #Greenerpackaging #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #HorizonEU #REDYSIGN

💡 Do you know that it's possible to produce a 100% #biodegradable #bioplastic using biomass derived from the valorization of agro-industrial waste? 💡 I’m excited to share my latest work on the development of #protein-based bioplastics, produced from sustainable sources like dairy waste. 🧀 🐮 👩🔬 The study explores the potential of single-cell protein (SCP), derived from cheese whey and anaerobic digestate, to create bioplastic films. The latter proved to be fully biodegradable within 1 month! A huge thank you to my colleagues from LARA - Laboratorio di Analisi e Ricerche Ambientali and to the co-authors from KTH Royal Institute of Technology for this valuable collaboration. This study brings us closer to a future with less conventional plastic and more sustainable materials! 🌿 🔗Want to know more?

And yet another powerful application for #SingleCellProtein! Imagine recovering mineral nitrogen from overabundant N-rich waste like #anaerobic #digestate, upcycling it into protein-rich microbial biomass (#SCP) by valorizing carbon-rich dairy waste, and finally using it to produce protein-based #bioplastics with full #biodegradability and high #biogas production potential when digested anaerobically. This novel biopolymer could find application in the food domain as #packaging material which, when wasted and treated through #anaerobicdigestion, could unlock the #circular recovery of energy and #nitrogen to support the renewable synthesis of more biopolymers. A huge thanks goes to the Swedish-Italian #multidisciplinary team which made this study possible. More details and link to the study below 👇
