Agriloop

The AgriLoop consortium aims to extend the agricultural production value of two major players of the global bioeconomy: the European Union and China, by eco-efficiently upgrading under-exploited residues into a portfolio of high added-value bio-products able to generate new bio-based markets or to compete with, and gain market share of, oil- and food crop-based equivalents.

In the project, the Shahgaldian group (ICB) develops biocatalytic nanomaterials capable of hydrolysis and up-cycling of agri-food waste.

The EU consortium is funded by the European Commission. The participation of FHNW is supported by the Swiss state secretariat for education, research and innovation (SERI).
