Converting Biodegradable Plastic Waste into Green Energy

Converting Biodegradable Plastic Waste into Green Energy

The primary goal of Valplast (Recovery of bioplastics through anaerobic co-digestion at sewage treatment plants) is to recover biodegradable plastic waste by utilizing anaerobic co-digestion with sludge from sewage treatment plants (STP). This process yields a biogas stream that can be harnessed as an energy source and produces digestate suitable for agricultural use.

This strategic project brings together a consortium of members, including Aimplas, the Calagua Group UPV-UV Mixed Unit, and the companies Global Omnium Medioambiente and Fych Technologies.
