Turning food processing waste into sustainable fibers
A European COST Action advancing circular bioeconomy through science, innovation, and collaboration.
The ENFiber COST Action (CA24111) addresses the challenge of food processing waste by transforming it into high-value fibers using innovative and sustainable methods. This initiative meets the environmental and societal demand for waste reduction and circular bio-economy solutions. With food by-products often discarded or underutilized, ENFiber unlocks their potential by promoting scalable green extraction technologies and implementing advanced characterization techniques.
