ATB at the “Urban Circular Bioeconomy” conference<\/a> \u2013 valorising biowaste \u2013 creating prosperity: CAFIPLA<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 3 productive years, the project \u201eCAFIPLA<\/a>\u2013Combining carboxylic acid production and fibre recovery<\/a>” came to a successful end. At the final Urban Circular Bioeconomy Conference on May 10th, the project partners, including the Leibniz-Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy<\/a>, presented findings of the final months and the trial phase of the CAFIPLA pilot plant. The CAFIPLA technology provides an alternative concept to biowaste valorisation and scaled up the process to TRL5. Joined by expert speakers from the City Council and European projects such as Tech4Biowaste and the HOOP network, the participants discussed state-of-the-art approaches and needs to be addressed in the future for accelerating implementation of the urban circular bioeconomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the conference:<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

The establishment of a sustainable circular urban bioeconomy requires the effective up-cycling of available biomass resources, especially as biowaste flows in cities can be used for the production of value-added bio-based products such as chemicals, plastics or nutrients. Therefore, the European Commission established already in the Bioeconomy Strategy (2018) that \u201c\u2026cities should become major circular bioeconomy hubs\u2026\u201d.
The conference:
\u2013 Provided feasible pathways to transform urban biowaste into a resource\/precursor for other industries via an innovative approach of the combination of a Short Chain Carboxylic Acid Platform and a Fiber Recovery Platform approach.
\u2013 Established a sustainable circular urban bioeconomy that offers solutions for the effective recycling of available biomass resources into biochemicals, plastics and nutrients.
Bioeconomy experts from Industry and Research provided insights in biorefinery, raw material availability, technology aspects of the combined platform approaches, fermentation pathways to transform short chain carboxylic acids into added value compounds to support the implementation of a circular biowaste based bioeconomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
