AGROCYCLE - for a Circular Economy

摘要

AgroCycle is a Sino-EU collaborative research venture, led by the School of Biosystems and Food Engineering at University College Dublin, Ireland. With 26 partners from across the EU, China and Hong Kong, the project is funded through the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, with additional funding from the governments of the Peoples' Republic of China and Hong Kong. The 36-month project (started June 1st, 2016) will deliver a protocol for the implementation of the 'circular economy' within the agri-food sector. It will develop, demonstrate and validate novel processes, practices and products for the sustainable use of agricultural wastes in applications such as fertilisers, bio-polymers and novel chemicals as well as developing technology and policy guidelines for the bioeconomy.
