Avecom partners with Green Alchemy to turn waste streams into bio-based products

-

Avecom, a provider of solutions in environmental remediation and biomass fermentation, has partnered with Green Alchemy ApS, a consultancy dedicated to turning complex regulatory and policy challenges into opportunities. Together, they aim to help companies valorize industrial waste streams for food and feed, bio-based materials, agriculture, and other sectors.

Transition opportunity to circular economy:

This partnership creates a one-stop shop, offering technical, economic, and regulatory feasibility assessments to companies that seek to valorize their waste streams.


The current global economic model is largely based on a linear resource flow, which is unsustainable in the long term. A shift to a circular economy presents a viable solution, and the EU has been increasingly prioritizing efforts in this direction to enhance strategic autonomy and competitiveness.


Bio-based solutions and biomanufacturing are key to the transition, as they enable converting agricultural and industrial waste streams into valuable products like proteins, #biopolymers, and organic fertilizers. Companies that successfully implement these solutions reduce waste and related costs, improve resource efficiency, and create new revenue streams.


Valorization assessment

Tapping into the opportunity requires know-how and infrastructure to develop and scale bio-based solutions. Avecom specializes in this domain by using biomass fermentation.


"We bring to the table 30 years of experience in microbial resource management, a skilled team of technical and engineering experts, and fully equipped labs and pilot or scale-up facilities. With our support, our customers are able to convert an otherwise lost flow into a new product, bringing additional profit to their businesses”, said Stijn Boeren, director of Avecom.


"But the first step in turning waste into a value is the waste-stream valorization assessment. At #Avecom, we conduct technical and economic feasibility studies to help our customers identify the most profitable options for their waste streams”.


While mapping out the technical and economic potential is crucial, the resulting different scenarios must also be evaluated from a regulatory standpoint. This is where Green Alchemy's expertise plays a vital role.


At #GreenAlchemy, we guide companies through complex policies and compliance requirements and make sure that regulatory considerations are addressed from the start. This is how we help our customers make informed investment decisions and avoid costly missteps”, said Claudia Herrmann, co-founder of Green Alchemy ApS. "Our focus is on the bio-based solutions, and we are working with startups and investors in the sector to bring these innovations to the market”.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...
