Global Solution for Slaughterhouses, Tanneries and Phytosanitary Sectors: Treatment of Category 3 Animal Wastes and Production High Value Product with Bio-pesticide Properties
APTAR is an European project funded by the European Commission within the Seventh Framework Program focused in the development of research interesting for Associations of SMEs. It tries to develop cost effective and environmental-friendly biologic procedures to transform category 3 animal wastes into valuable products that could be used in agriculture.
The main objectives of APTAR project are oriented to solve two sectoral problems by means of the elimination of category 3 animal wastes and the substitution of chemical pesticides:
- Development of a cost-effective biothechnological method based on bio-hydrolysation aimed to transform category 3 animal wastes.
- Application of the products derived from the over mentioned biothechnological method in the phytosanitary sector as biopesticides.
These main goals can be divided into more specific objectives:
A) Technological objectives
- Development, at industrial level, of a feasible degradation for category 3 animal wastes by bio-hydrolysis with microorganisms.
B) Economic objective
- Demonstration of the economic feasibility and positive balance of the global process by the high added value as biopesticide of the biodegraded wastes.
- To get benefits from processed animal wastes that improves meat and phytosanitary sectors.
