Fiber Source Identification & Feasibility Analysis

WG1 coordinates the identification and prioritisation of food-processing by-product streams that may offer suitable fiber sources. By compiling a dynamic evidence base, conducting technical, environmental and economic feasibility analyses, and engaging industry stakeholders, the group aims to assess availability, variability, extraction potential, scalability and possible constraints. Its outputs are intended to guide source selection and provide an evidence base for subsequent extraction, characterization, sustainability and application studies across the other Working Groups.
