From this pseudo stem, and using mechanical processing, two different raw materials are obtained: high quality natural fibres from one side and the residual pulp on the other side. Treated fibre is going to be used to obtain\u00a0natural reinforced composites, which, as such, may be applied to the automotive sector, as well as bio-based films, which can be employed,\u00a0among other applications, in the plantation for agricultural use and in the packaging of fish feed. With the residual pulp, as a great technological innovation, it will be held the development of antioxidant additives which serve as a supplement in the production of\u00a0fish diets for aquaculture.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of Life ALGAECAN, the technology to be applied in the project is an innovative concept for wastewater treatment, reuse and resource recovery to obtain a high-quality water stream and reusable. The treatment proposed for high loaded and salty effluents is simple, from a technological point of view, with low costs associated to the treatment (both process and energy) and it would be carried out in-situ. The prototype will be powered by renewable energies (solar energy supported by biomass), which will minimise the carbon footprint and operating costs of the process. The final effluent quality will be very high, allowing reuse for equipment cleaning and irrigation purposes.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Simple Share Buttons Adder (8.2.4) simplesharebuttons.com --><div class=\"ssba-classic-2 ssba ssbp-wrap left ssbp--theme-1\"><div style=\"text-align:left\"><a data-site=\"\" class=\"ssba_facebook_share\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2731\"  target=\"_blank\" ><img src=\"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-share-buttons-adder\/buttons\/somacro\/facebook.png\" style=\"width: 35px;\" title=\"Facebook\" class=\"ssba ssba-img\" alt=\"Share on Facebook\" \/><div title=\"Facebook\" class=\"ssbp-text\">Facebook<\/div><\/a><a data-site=\"\" class=\"ssba_twitter_share\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2731&amp;text=Networking%20meetings%20with%20LIFE%20BAQUA%20and%20ALGAECAN%20projects%20via%20%40life_brewery\"  target=&quot;_blank&quot; ><img src=\"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-share-buttons-adder\/buttons\/somacro\/twitter.png\" style=\"width: 35px;\" title=\"Twitter\" class=\"ssba ssba-img\" alt=\"Tweet about this on Twitter\" \/><div title=\"Twitter\" class=\"ssbp-text\">Twitter<\/div><\/a><a data-site=\"linkedin\" class=\"ssba_linkedin_share ssba_share_link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2731\"  target=&quot;_blank&quot; ><img src=\"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-share-buttons-adder\/buttons\/somacro\/linkedin.png\" style=\"width: 35px;\" title=\"LinkedIn\" class=\"ssba ssba-img\" alt=\"Share on LinkedIn\" \/><div title=\"Linkedin\" class=\"ssbp-text\">Linkedin<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, technicians of LIFE BREWERY and both\u00a0LIFE BAQUA and LIFE ALGAECAN [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[24,23,22],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2731"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2731\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifebrewery.azti.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
