Outputs

SOWISE+ will convert two urban waste streams

Banana and bread representing source-separated urban biowaste
Source-separatedUrban Biowaste
Folded absorbent hygiene product
Post-consumerAbsorbent Hygiene
Products (AHPs)

into valuable secondary raw materials that can be used in new bio-based applications.

At the centre of the project are two main outputs: PHBV and high-quality recovered cellulose. These materials will be produced at industrially relevant scale within the SOWISE+ flagship system and then further developed into formulations, composites and final demonstrators.
