INGREEN Project

INGREEN is an EU-funded project that will develop functional innovative ingredients from paper and agro-food side-streams through biotechnological processes for food, feed, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and bio-degradable packaging. This four-year project will develop new chemical building blocks, new materials, and new consumer products from whey, wheat and rye brans, and paper-milling wastewater. INGREEN will demonstrate in real operational environments sustainable and efficient tailor-made biotechnologies and eco-friendly approaches to produce safe and/or health-promoting microbial biomasses and biochemical raw materials, as well as functional ingredients such as prebiotic and pre-fermented food ingredients. Innovative bio-based prototypes will be developed and where possible packaged in biodegradable solutions for food, feed, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and packaging sectors. INGREEN is a partnership between a number of organisations from the agricultural, food and industrial sectors. The direct involvement of the eight SMEs, four large industries and four academic partners well-experienced in knowledge transfer are key to devise scale-up strategies and work plans needed to speed up the successful market introduction of the innovative bio-based processes and final products.
