High-value products derived from cascadic recycling of residual materials from the food industry
Abstract
CircularFoods has set itself the goal of making the best possible use of regionally available food residues and producing new high-quality products from such residues. In a circular approach, CircularFoods aims to obtain high-quality protein components from various residual materials, investigate the effects on possible subsequent biogas production, and develop innovative liquid biofertilizers, new growing media (peat substitutes) and fertilizer pellets from the fermentation residues (possibly in a mixture with other residual material fractions). The best possible cascading use should contribute to a significant increase in the added value of food residues and, in line with the Austrian circular economy strategy, to maximum material use in combination with possible biogas production (not the focus of research in this project). The use of energy-efficient processes and research into optimal carbon utilization via the cascading approach should lay the foundation for the long-term vision of a climate-positive food cycle.
