SCALIBUR video 1: From household food waste to bioplastics and biopesticides
Description
This video is part of a 3 part series explaining the innovative technologies being developed in the SCALIBUR project.
The script is as follows:
Each of us throws away a whopping 200 kilograms of food and organic waste each year. More and more cities separately collect this bio-waste. But what to do with it all? The SCALIBUR project is developing innovative technologies to convert household organic waste into valuable products. Where we see waste, SCALIBUR partners see a resource. One approach uses novel biochemical conversion, combining enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation processes, to transform organic waste into sustainable bio-based products... Like bio-pesticides for more ecological agriculture, or biodegradable and compostable biopolymers for sustainable bioplastics. These technologies will help cities manage waste in a more sustainable and cost efficient way. And contribute to the creation of a truly circular bioeconomy in Europe.
