🚀🌍 Exciting News! 🌍🚀

‍

We're thrilled to announce that CIRCLE, a Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) consortium led by TripleW, has been awarded a whopping EUR 17M to scale up our groundbreaking technology to produce Circulac, upcycled lactic acid, lactic acid derivatives, and PLA—all made entirely from food waste! 🍽️🔄

‍

Our powerhouse consortium includes industry leaders Renewi, LG Chem, Volkswagen Group, ecover + method | Europe , Sulzer Chemtech, FrieslandCampina, Davines Group | Certified B Corp, Vandemoortele, Fibenol, Sulapac Ltd and TIPA® Compostable Packaging . The consortium will be supported by Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant, ETAM S.A., ICONS Innovation Strategies and ZER0-E Engineering.

‍

With our incredible partners, we're transforming existing waste management infrastructure into biorefineries, reducing environmental impact and creating new revenue streams for waste management stakeholders. No need for completely new infrastructure! 🌍💼💰

‍

This project is a monumental step in tackling climate change. Our goal? To commercialize lactic acid for use in PLA bioplastic production for the auto industry, food packaging, and cosmetics packaging. 🚗🍽️🌿

‍

TripleW's lactic acid, Circulac, and its derivatives will also be marketed as ingredients for personal care products + homecare cleaning materials. 🧴✨

‍

The biorefinery concept taps into the carbon embedded in food waste, producing high-demand, high-value lactic acid products—making it a game-changer for decarbonizing food waste. ♻️🔥
