AgroCycle waste project in focus

UCD is leading 26 partners from across the EU, China and Hong Kong on the €8m AgroCycle project to generate high-value products from agri-food wastes.

UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering is leading the effort to develop a protocol to implement the ‘circular economy’ across the agri-food sector.

UCD won this role against fierce competition; some 180 projects were submitted, but only two were funded.
