The ReJuice project aims to set up sustainable and economically viable value chains by processing and reusing the liquid fraction from green residual flows. Within ReJuice, we see 4 major application possibilities for this juice: as a source to generate energy, within the food sector, to develop new materials and as a source of circular fertilizers. For the extraction of the juice, the project partners are not only looking at roadside cuttings and grass, but also at other common green residual flows such as tomato stems, leek waste, flower stems and duckweed.
More specifically, Innolab will develop the process for converting grass juice into biogas and validate this on a pilot scale. Innolab will also participate in pilot scale tests to grow microalgae on the juice.
ReJuice stands for the reuse (Re) of juice flows (Juice), but also for a more efficient use of raw materials (Rejuice = Reduce). More information about ReJuice can be found on our project website. You can also find news and updates about the project on our ReJuice page on LinkedIn.
