Aid for BUSINESS COMPETITIVE REINFORCEMENT PROJECTS
Project description:
One of the basic principles of the circular economy is that all by-products have a second useful life as new raw materials. Currently, the byproducts obtained during the skin fertilizer process are recovered and managed to be reused by different sectors. In this sense, meats contain valuable biomolecules such as lipids and proteins, as a source of oils for biofuels, in the production of biogas and as feed for animal feeding.
From the recovery of meat and split leather, glues, collagen, gelatin and protein hydrolyzate are obtained that are mainly destined for the food sector and the pharmaceutical industry, but also have applications in the cosmetics and photographic industries.
The main objective of the project is to carry out a study to assess whether, from biorefinery processes of triacylglycerides extracted from leather flesh, bioproducts and/or biomaterials with high added value and in a sustainable manner can be obtained.
