The 37 partners of the International AgriLoop consortium aim to extend the agricultural production value of two major players of the global bioeconomy: the European Union and China.
Core activities
The AgriLoop project partners will eco-efficiently upgrade under-exploited agricultural residues into a portfolio of high-added-value bio-products able to generate new bio-based markets or to compete with, and gain market share of, oil- and food crops-based equivalents.
Major outputs
The AgriLoop consortium envisages the following outcomes:
- The development of ‘safe and sustainable by design’ (SSbD) bioconversion processes to convert a range of agricultural residues into plant and microbial proteins, polyesters, and other bio-based chemicals.
- The implementation of biotech industries for eco-efficient protein extraction and the production of microbial proteins from agricultural residues.
- Expanding the portfolio of biochemical industries for agrochemicals with food and non-food applications, and for biopolymers companies.
- Offering new, safe and tested materials to the agricultural and food sector.
