ATB speaks at the conference Urban Circular Bioeconomy – valorising biowaste – creating prosperity: CAFIPLA

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 “…cities should become major circular bioeconomy hubs…”.

The conference will:
– Provide 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.
– Establish 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 will provide 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.

Dr. Joachim Venus from the Leibniz-Institute for Agricultural Engineering and Bioeconomy (competence area Microbiome Biotechnology) will talk at 12:30 about „Biowaste as feedstock for lactic acid fermentation“.

The conference is taking place in the frame of the project „CAFIPLA–Combining carboxylic acid production and fibre recovery„.
