Overall objectives: The aim of the Project is to achieve step-reductions in the generation of industrial waste and by-products, including organic materials, as well as to foster their valorization

 (1) improving the local environment (less waste and waste water),

(2) mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (reduced energy consumption and reduced methane generation from waste) 

(3) economic benefits (resource productivity and possibly better product quality).
