GHENT UNIVERSITY-CAPTURE PLATFORM
Laboratory for Circular Process Engineering (LCPE), Department of Green Chemistry and Technology, Faculty of Bioscience Engineering, Ghent University.
In previous projects, Ghent University developed a model that predicts where packaging will end up, based on product design, collection method (and waste composition), and sorting line.
WAGRALIM
Wagralim is Wallonia’s food system innovation center. It brings together a network of 300 members, companies, researchers, and experts to co-create concrete and sustainable solutions.
Wagralim will coordinate communication about the project with the various operators, targeting both the general public and specialist audiences.
