Aiming at resource efficient, environmentally sound and sustainable production this industry-driven project addresses the development of novel, economically viable products and processes based on waste streams originating from grass, vegetables and wood. Envisioned products include health-promoting food additives, fermentable sugars for the production of high-value compounds like astaxanthin, enzymatically optimized feed-additives, as well as tannins for the leather producing industry. In the consortium partners from industry and academia are brought together located at different positions in the value chains of the agricultural and food/feed industry.
