PPS14: OLIVEPIT
Valorisation of Olive Pits in the production of Eco-Sustainable Value-Added Products
Specific Objectives
Develop reusable and biodegradable shoe lasts, made from a polymer that incorporates 25% of a natural resource, such as olive pits, which are currently only valorised as an energy source waste. This way, we will have a biocompostable product that incorporates up to 25% of a natural resource, and at the end of its life, it can be valorised as compost/fertilizer through the composting process in Portugal.
Simultaneously, a biocompostable polymer reinforced with olive pits will be developed and functionalized, allowing it to be compostable within 60 days in the existing composting facilities in Portugal.
Processes, Products or Services
Development of reusable and biodegradable shoe lasts made from olive pits.
