Model BW2Pro -Products Made From Organic Waste

The Ministry of the Environment, Climate Protection and the Energy Sector (Baden-Württemberg) has approved the BW2Pro project. Co-financed by EU ERDF funds, a pilot project for the recycling of biowaste will be carried out at the Backnang disposal plant. Under the leadership of the University of Hohenheim and the Institute for Water Management (University of Stuttgart), an innovative process for recovering products from organic waste will be implemented from March 2022. The organic waste will be subjected to thermal pressure hydrolysis, the cooking water will be used in an innovative biogas reactor and the fibers will be processed into plant pots and tableware. In addition, cellulase and bioplastics (PHA) are also produced by other partners and nutrients are recovered in pure form.
