The final conference “Urban Circlar Bioeconomy” in Spain concludes the CAFIPLA project after 30 successful months. This project conclusion was supported by experts and scientists from the CAFIPLA partners through exciting presentations.

The CAFIPLA Implementation Guideline is now published and provides valuable insights into the CAFIPLA technology as well as highlights key factors to establish novel routes for biowaste valorisation on a regional level!

Watch the video to get first hand insights on the CAFIPLA pilot plant process at the IDELUX organic waste treatment facility.

The final project workshop in Tenneville brought together feedstock suppliers and represantatives of the waste and recycling industry as well as experts from research and development to dicuss the new results and perspectives of the innovative CAFIPLA concept including a live demonstration of the CAFIPLA pilot plant.

The market assessment details the high relevance and impact of biowaste-derived materials in an expanding bioeconomy and demonstrates how novel value chains and markets are created from biowaste by the CAFIPLA project. The CAFIPLA technology presents a radically new approach to biowaste pretreatment via two integrated platforms to achieve maximum valorisation into bioproducts and consequent creation of new bioeconomic value chains.

Is there more to it than biogas and fertilizer? The webinar jointly organised by CAFIPLA and BioBall on Dec 5, 2022 presented new approaches by TECNALIA, DBFZ & UFZ, THM Gießen and DECHEMA.

In December 2022, the podcast series “CAFIPLA – From biowaste to bioproducts” was released. The four episodes present the CAFIPLA products lactic acid, MCCAs, microbial protein and fibre-based materials.

The CAFIPLA consortium is meeting for their 6th General Assembly meeting in Marche-en-Famenne, Belgium on 23-24 November 2022.

The partners at ATB studied the pasta waste samples received from IDELUX as substrate for Bacillus coagulans to produce lactic acid, a precursor for polylactic acid.

On 26-27 October 2022, EFIB 2022 took place in Vilnuis, Lithuania. Ester Hegel (DECHEMA) and Christina Andreeßen (DECHEMA) presented the CAFIPLA project.

CAFIPLA was represented in person twice by Annika from BOKU at Abfallwirtschaftstagung (Waste Management Conference) in Wels, Austria in May as well as at the International Conference on Renewable Resources and Biorefineries (RRB), which took place in Bruges, Belgium in June.

ACHEMA is the world’s largest exhibition for the process industry and in this context a CAFIPLA workshop was held to introduce the participants to the topic of biomass valorisation.

The workshop, which took place at IDELUX Environment in Belgium, was a great gathering of CAFIPLA partners, stakeholders and researchers. The highlight of this meeting was the visit of the CAFIPLA pilot site, where the pilot reactor was later on implemented.

The CAFIPLA video introduces the general concept of the project and sets it in context with current challenges both at global and local levels.

The CAFIPLA consortium is going to meet in our coordinator’s home city of Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain) in northern Spain for their 5th General Assembly meeting.

The second part of our webinar series “From organic waste to biochemicals, Part 2: How to valorise biowaste” took place on March 17th, 2022. The focus of the second part was on the targeted CAFIPLA products.

We invite you to the second part of our CAFIPLA webinar series “From organic waste to biochemicals”. Part 2 will focus on the CAFIPLA products and their production processes.

We are excited to present to you the CAFIPLA Advertising brochure.
You will find information about the “CAFIPLA Technologies and Products” as well as background information about the overall project context and objectives.

On Friday 10th December, the CAFIPLA Webinar series “From organic waste to biochemicals” started with “Part 1: How to pre-treat biowaste”. The CAFIPLA partners TECNALIA, IDELUX Environnement, OWS Research Foundation and DBFZ introduced the overall CAFIPLA concept and technologies to the audience and presented how the CAFIPLA project will help create new biobased value chains based on biomass, specifically organic waste.

Our CAFIPLA stakeholder platform is online! The CAFIPLA Stakeholder Platform aims to promote exchange and provide information between experts on new technologies for obtaining bio-based chemicals and products from bio-waste. Join now!

CAFIPLA webinar: From organic waste to biochemicals Part 1: How to pre-treat biomass We are happy to announce our first CAFIPLA webinar. In this webinar, you will get insides on: What CAFIPLA process is about How biomass pre-treatment can be done in a more pragmatic way Why biowaste valorisation is important for biowaste processors What […]

The initial CAFIPLA market analysis is completed. It shows high potential for the four CAFIPLA targeted biobased products in the economic assessment.

Time flies and it has been already a year since CAFIPLA project started. Yesterday we had our 12th-month meeting, celebrating one year of the CAFIPLA project. We discussed in an online meeting the current progress and successfully achieved task.
We are looking forward to the upcoming task and further exciting months to come.

To identify local biowaste sources’ potential, IDELUX Environnement contacted local companies close to its organic waste treatment plant in Tenneville, Belgium, to cooperate with the CAFIPLA project.

We are happy to announce the launch of our first edition of CAFIPLA newsletter. You will find an interesting overview of the CAFIPLA concept, objectives and methodology. Enjoy reading our first newsletter and subscribe to stay tuned with CAFIPLA!
