The OLinWASTE team also was present at the European Researchers’ Night Life is Science in Graz.

We had a fantastic evening full of inspiring conversations with many curious and engaged visitors!

People were particularly interested in discovering the different types of olive mill residues — such as twigs and leaves, pomace, crushed kernels, and digestate from biogas production — and learning more about our research on how these can be valorized into sustainable products, including:
 plant protectants
 biopesticides
 soil enhancers & fertilizers
 bioplastics
 biogas
…and much more!

It was great to see how much enthusiasm there is for circular bioeconomy and sustainable innovation in Europe. 

A big thank you to all visitors and the Life is Science team for the organization — and to European Commission and European Research Executive Agency (REA) for supporting our work towards greener value chains.
