  1. Welcome to the launch of the BIS Network! www.sustoil.org/bis.html

  2. Main concept behind the Network • Go towards organic waste utilization instead of organic waste production by producing more valuable concentrated products from waste closer to their generation site using feedstock agnostic technologies. 2nd generation FSCW re-use

  3. Objectives of the BIS Network Develop the valorisation of FSCW as an alternative carbon source for identified higher value bio-derived chemicals, material and/or fuel products • overcome technological barriers, • go beyond 1st generation organic waste reuse and recycling (e.g. feed, composting, anaerobic digestion) • Form a multidisciplinary scientific community • Strengthening cooperation between academia and industry

  4. FSCW volumes available in California • Agricultural waste: 46 MT/y • Grape pomace: 122,000 T/y • Vegetable crop residues: 1,000,000 T/y • Tomato pomace: 60,000 T/y • Nut shells & pits (i.e. olive): 400,000 T/y • Rice Hulls & cotton residue (grain & fibre processing): 450,000 T/ y • Meat processing waste: 65,000 T/y • Food scraps in MSW: 1.6-2 MT/y

  5. Potential of food supply chain waste activated carbon bio-adhesives cellulose nanocrystals PHAs syn-gas sugars phenols Clean Synthesis lipids starch nanocomposites terpenes elastin pectin amino acids bio-surfactants alcohols Food supply chain residues Benign extraction collagen films bio-solvents cellulose bio-fuels natural chelants chitosan PVC replacement materials phytochemicals Catalysis hemicellulose hydrogels bacterial cellulose chemical monomers antioxidant lubricant fuel additives

  6. The BIS principles • Think of Waste as a Resource! We need renewable alternatives to oil-derived feedstocks • Value WasteStop one-way uses of waste, process by-products and residues by switching to waste valorising strategies instead of waste management strategies. • Consider closed-loop manufacturing Aim to improve resource efficiency by using concepts such as industrial symbiosis to reduce consumption of virgin resources.

  7. The BIS principles (continued) • Target Process Cost-effectiveness. Aim for maximum cost efficiency for a given process by using waste as a feedstock for the production of marketable high-value bio-chemicals, bio-fuels and bio-materials from waste. • Favour Clean and Green Technologies Aim to produce goods without hazardous inputs or impacts on our environment.

  8. Why should you join? • The BIS network helps create new partnerships that are in a strong position to apply for funding for future international calls • Current membership academics and industrialists from 15 countries worldwide • Won the International Seedcorn Award awarded by the University of York • New E.U. COST Action (mobility support for E.U. or non E.U. BIS members).

  9. COST Action • Intergovernmental framework for European Cooperation in Science & Technology • Collaboration with American academics ok • Precursor of advanced multidisciplinary research • Building capacity by connecting high-quality scientific communities throughout Europe and worldwide • Increasing the impact of research on policy makers, regulatory bodies and national decision makers as well as the private sector

  10. Organisation of the BIS Network Coordination & Organisation Task force to prioritise waste sources INDUSTRY WG1 Pre-treatment & extraction WG3 Chemical processing WG2 Bio-processing WG4. Technical & Sustainability Assessment/Policy Analysis WG4. Technical & Sustainability Assessment/Policy Analysis Demonstration of most promising outputs on larger scale INDUSTRY Dissemination

  11. The New OPEC 31.2 million T/y of citrus fruits are processed globally yielding 15.6 million T of citrus peel waste Integrated microwave biorefinery 50% waste 50% juice • This project has captured the attention of: • various industries (i.e. food, HPC), • several media (BBC, national newspapers, ACS) & • has been selected by the Ellen McArthur Foundation to serve as educational material for teenagers.

  12. Thank you for coming! Stop wasting opportunities! Join the BIS Network, it’s free! www.sustoil.org/bis.html We welcome any opportunity to discuss potential collaboration ideas
