UPSCALING DEEP CONVERSION ROUTES FOR HARD-TO-RECYCLE BIOGENIC WASTE

ABOUT THE PROJECT

UPCYCLE is a MSCA Doctoral Network of 6 universities and 8 companies from 6 European countries funded by the European Commission. The scope of the project is to generate a cohort of 15 well-trained young researchers with a unique multi-disciplinary set of skills, not limited to technical ones, with the goal of making them the future research leaders or entrepreneurs capable of bringing forward a paradigm shift in the treatment and valorization of hard-to-recycle biogenic waste.

THE UPCYCLE VISION

UPCYCLE will train the next generation of professionals in the upscaling of deep conversion technologies for hard-to-recycle biogenic waste and will provide innovative tools for the design of feasible waste upcycle solutions to high-value secondary materials. Such ambition will be achieved by developing an integrated methodology combining cutting-edge experimental and modelling techniques at various scales (molecular, reactor and process) and by covering the entire value chain in continuity with relevant stakeholders. Several priority waste streams will be targeted, namely highly contaminated and poorly reactive sewage sludge and products from wastewater treatment, as well as lignocellulosic materials.
