About us
Sustainable production is one of the key
issues of the production technologies today. In addition to the
modifications to the processing technologies that make production
more environmentally friendly, intensive research is needed in
valorisation and utilization of different by-products and wastes
produced by the industry. In addition to industry, wastes are
created by the communities and agriculture. The exploitation of
these wastes is important, since the amount of the waste is
continuously increasing and the treatment of this waste is not
adequate even today. Finding the new ways to utilize industrial,
communal and agricultural waste and by-products, and transferring
those to valuable products, is the goal of NO-WASTE. We are
especially aiming at identify and develop technologies that are
potential to be used by the industry so that the reduction of the
emissions and waste becomes also economically interesting and is not
just due to legislation and reputation of the company.
The more specific goals of this exchange
scheme are related to the different work packages, that concentrate
on utilisation of agricultural residues (WP1 and WP2), production of
valuable chemicals and energy from waste gas (WP3 and WP5) and
utilization of mainly industrial residues (WP4 and WP6).
Summary of the general aims of the project:
- Creation of a long-term cooperation
network
- Contribute to the reduction of solid,
liquid and gaseous waste
- Develop sustainable processes and products that have reduce or contribute to the reduction of different types of waste
- Transfer waste to the products (utilization of waste)
Project's work packages:
