Topic 2 – Targeting secondary sources to enhance access to raw materials
Interested in cooperation on valorisation of secondary raw materials, especially organic residues and bio-based side streams. Our current research focuses on the generation of value-added products from organic residues and on microalgae cultivation as a platform for resource recovery and sustainable biomass production. We are particularly interested in interdisciplinary collaboration that connects circular bioeconomy, waste-to-value technologies, and sustainable processing routes for secondary raw materials.
The Estonian University of Life Sciences is a leading research and higher education institution in Tartu, Estonia, with strong expertise in bioeconomy, agriculture, environmental sciences, and sustainable resource use. The university works on practical and science-based solutions for the efficient use of biological resources, including organic residues, biomass conversion, and circular economy applications. Its research environment supports international cooperation, applied innovation, and the development of technologies that contribute to more sustainable and resource-efficient production systems.
