Since the industrial revolution, waste has constantly grown. This is because oureconomies have used a “take-make-consume and dispose” pattern of growth- a linear model which assumes that resources are abundant, available and cheapto dispose of.

What we need is a more circular economy.

This means re-using, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materialsand products. What used to be regarded as ‘waste’ can beturned into a resource. The aim is to look beyond wasteand to close the loop of the circular economy.All resources need to be managed more efficientlythroughout their life cycle.

IEA (2014) Key World Energy Statistics

The annual rate of reduction of carbon emissions per unit of GDP needed to limitglobal warming to 2oC, has passed a critical threshold according to new analysis fromPwC. … It demonstrates that at current rates of emissions growth at least 6oCdegrees of warming could be possible by the end of the century.

OBJECTIVE

The main aim of TRANSBIO is the implementation of aninnovative cascading concept for the valorisation of sub-products from the fruit and vegetable processingindustry using environmentally friendly biotechnologicalsolutions like fermentation and enzyme-conversionstrategies to obtain valuable bioproducts like plastics (PHB),nutraceuticals / platform chemical succinic acid andenzymes for detergent applications.
