OBJECTIVES
- Addressing the process and technologies needed to use food waste for feed and feed additives production at low cost, low energy consumption with maximal valorization of starting waste materials
- Investigating nutritional value and functionality according to animal needs, as well as safety and quality issues
- Characterizing nutritional value of food wastes and to investigate innovative technologies to stabilize and convert them into suitable raw materials for bulk feed
- Obtaining functional feed ingredients (additives) from wastes addressing cost and functionality in animals
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS
- Investigation of innovative processing technologies for bulk feed ingredients
- Validation of all initiatives in in-vitro tests
- ETV certification for innovative feed preparation technologies
- Evaluation of the whole value chain starting from cradle to animal farm including exploitable products through a two-tier LCA study
TECHNOLOGIES
- Innovative conditioning and drying technologies
- Processing technologies for extracts, pectins and peptide preparation
IMPACTS
- Specific impact of the NOSHAN Project is to turn food waste into feed at low cost and low energy consumption
- In a greater scale, turning agricultural waste into animal feed opens up new opportunities fo farmers while cutting Europe’s dependence on feed imports
- NOSHAN concept will particularly be welcome in rural areas where feed industry is a powerful economic engine
- NOSHAN products has direct environmental benefits in terms of carbon emissions, land use and ecotoxicity
EKODENGE’S ROLE
Work Package Leader
- Sustainability assesment and support to eco design for the process
- Life cycle assessment to evaluate exploitable final products
