AgriChemWhey

AgriChemWhey is a EU-funded project that will build a first-of-a kind, industrial-scale biorefinery with integrated symbiotic industrial and agricultural value chains to valorise excess Whey Permeate and De-lactosed Whey Permeate to several added value products for growing global markets including lactic acid, polylactic acid, minerals for human nutrition and bio-based fertilisers. This Flagship will prove the techno-economic viability of the innovative WP/DLP-to-lactic acid biorefinery technology and establish a new value chain for industrial symbiosis with other local actors for the production of high value sustainable food and feed products from other side streams, as an enhanced circular bioeconomy approach to agriculture and agri-food waste. AGRICHEMWHEY has received funding from the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 744310.
