Every year, the Valencian agricultural sector generates around 800 000 tons of plant waste, such as rice straw and citrus pruning waste. Unfortunately, the methods used to recover this biomass are costly. The EU-funded BIOVALSA project aims to develop innovative processes for manufacturing sustainable bioplastics from these waste streams.
The EU-funded project NiCE – from niche to centre focuses on promoting circular lifestyles and sustainable consumption structures in city centres. Its final conference will transfer the knowledge built up during the project and promote networking among stakeholders, including during the Market of Opportunities where participants can present their city, organisation, activities or project.
