Since the industrial revolution, waste has constantly grown. This is because our
economies have used a “take-make-consume and dispose” pattern of growth
- a linear model which assumes that resources are abundant, available and cheap
to dispose of.
What we need is a more circular economy.
This means re-using, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials
and products. What used to be regarded as ‘waste’ can be
turned into a resource. The aim is to look beyond waste
and to close the loop of the circular economy.
All resources need to be managed more efficiently
throughout their life cycle.

IEA (2014) Key World Energy Statistics
The annual rate of reduction of carbon emissions per unit of GDP needed to limit
global warming to 2oC, has passed a critical threshold according to new analysis from
PwC. … It demonstrates that at current rates of emissions growth at least 6oC
degrees of warming could be possible by the end of the century. (PwC, 2012)

economic production (Burke et al, 2015)

BIOproducts
TRANSBIO
The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme
(FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n° 289603

9. OBJECTIVE
The main aim of TRANSBIO is the implementation of an
innovative cascading concept for the valorisation of sub-
products from the fruit and vegetable processing
industry using environmentally friendly biotechnological
solutions like fermentation and enzyme-conversion
strategies to obtain valuable bioproducts like plastics (PHB),
nutraceuticals / platform chemical succinic acid and
enzymes for detergent applications.
