The problems rising from food and agricultural waste are a public concern on the national and European level, based on a rising economic and environmental impact and the pursuit of a bio-based economy.
The 4th International Conference on Bio-based Polymers and Composites (BiPoCo 2018) is the forth edition of a series of Conferences started in 2012, which gain visibility, affluence and importance year after year. As previous editions, the Conference was held in Hungary, this time in the city of Balatonfüred during the days of September 2-6.
This weekend, our partners in the BARBARA project at CELABOR visited the agricultural fair in Battice, Belgium, in order to give visibility to the project and their various activities at the company. The event was mainly meant as a divulgative action, joining farmers and consumers in order to bring the farm life and their activities to families, fostering the contact between animals, natural crops and children, but also gathering farmers to face the new challenges, technologies and trends in the sector .
Apart from the first official video of the project, already visible in the website and all social media, two new videos have been added to the Barbara Project Youtube channel. The first video shows coordinator Dr. Berta Gonzalvo, coordinator of the project, and Dr. Lidia García (Tecnopackaging) explaining the rationale and overall concept of the project. The interviews were shot during the M6 meeting of the project at the University of Alicante.
This June 3-6th, the 6th International Congress on Green Process Engineering was held in Toulouse, France (website here). The Conference covered a vast variety of advanced topics such as activation methods, green solvents, biocatalytic processes, biomass valorisation, biorefineries, energy supply, risk management or education on green process engineering.
