Waste Reuse from the Açaí ( Euterpe oleracea) Industry

Enter multiple e-mails separated by comma.

This project aimed to present reuse alternates for the waste produced in the industrial processing of açaí, and thus obtain processing plants that minimize the release of waste products. A previous evaluation of this matter pointed out technological alternatives through which would be possible to: I) reuse the residue inside or outside the processing plant, or, II) produce byproducts with aggregated value. The project proposed to develop support technologies to the açaí agroindustrial complex, with which this activity's environmental impact will be diminished, while making possible the creation of business opportunities and increasing the efficiency of the involved sectors. The proposed technological alternatives may be immediately applied (reuse of waste products in energy generation, processed or not) and are strategic (residue recycling for the creation of new products).
