General information
- Short Summary
-
Spain-based technology center specializes in agri-food, offering expertise in waste tech transformation. Innovation involves studying waste's biological processes for economic and environmental gains, focusing on new production models, especially in rural development. Primary advantage is agri-food waste reduction, addressing resource scarcity, climate change, and pollution.
The center seeks partnerships through cooperative research agreements or commercial deals with technical assistance. - Full Description
-
The Spanish technology center specializes in innovative solutions, spanning sustainable agriculture, viticulture, agricultural mechanization, experimentation, forest management, and environmental conservation.
Addressing challenges in waste management within the agri-food sector, the technology center's focus is to surpass existing limitations. Current solutions inadequately manage diverse waste streams, resulting in environmental and economic issues.
The technology offered involves advanced bioprocessing of waste for economic and environmental valorisation. It encompasses:
- Technological reconversion of waste study of biological processes of waste for its economic and environmental valorisation
- Development of new production and consumption models
- Valorisation of waste, especially those related to rural development
- Phyto-purification of wastewater
- Waste management and recovery
Key features include an in-depth study of biological processes and the introduction of novel production models.
The innovation lies in the detailed study of waste's biological processes to enhance its valorisation and the tailored approach to benefit rural communities through sustainable practices.
In terms of cooperation, the technology center seeks a collaborative research approach. This involves partnering with entities sharing a mutual interest in waste valorisation and sustainable agricultural practices. This collaboration aims to combine expertise, enhance research capabilities, and jointly address waste management challenges.
Simultaneously, the technology center explores Commercial Agreements with Technical Assistance to facilitate technology transfer globally. This ensures efficient knowledge transfer and ongoing technical support, ensuring the successful implementation of the technology on an international scale.
The desired outcome is the joint development and optimization of waste valorisation processes, leading to sustainable solutions. International collaboration aims to enrich research outcomes and promote global technology transfer without inventing a specific framework. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The technology from the Spanish center excels in waste valorisation within the agri-food sector, offering key technical advantages. Notably, its optimization of biological processes ensures superior efficiency in extracting economic and environmental value from waste compared to conventional methods. A distinctive feature is its tailored focus on rural development, aligning the waste valorisation process with specific community needs. This customization sets it apart from generic solutions, directly contributing to the socio-economic and environmental aspects of rural areas.
The introduction of novel production models contributes not only to waste reduction but also provides sustainable alternatives, distinguishing it from traditional approaches. The technology's ability to address a spectrum of environmental challenges, including resource scarcity and climate change, enhances its appeal, offering a comprehensive waste management strategy.
Moreover, its specificity to the agri-food sector ensures targeted and effective solutions, differentiating it from generic alternatives. In comparison to competing products, the technology stands out for its precision in biological process optimization, focus on rural development, introduction of novel production models, comprehensive environmental impact mitigation, and sector-specific approach, collectively providing a nuanced and effective solution. - Stage of Development
