Cross-cutting lines

Circular economy

We promote circular models that reduce waste and transform by-products into new resources.

We support the redesign of products and processes, optimise water and energy use, and demonstrate—through robust metrics—that sustainability also delivers economic value.

Research sublines

Valorisation and new utilisation pathways

We develop solutions to minimise losses at source and valorise residual streams by converting them into ingredients, materials or bioproducts. We apply technologies such as fermentation and advanced separation, and facilitate resource exchange between actors.

Eco-design and environmental impact assessment

We apply tools such as life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmental footprinting to compare alternatives, prioritise improvements and communicate results with scientific rigour. We define environmental, social and economic indicators to support sustainable decision-making.

Circularity in food systems and the blue economy

We design circular strategies for fisheries, aquaculture and the food industry, improving raw material efficiency, valorising by-products, reducing effluents and enabling resource reuse. We also promote collaborative, place-based initiatives to achieve tangible impact.
