VAMOS EU

VAMOS EU VAMOS - ‘Value Added Materials from Organic waste Sugars'
project to produce and valorise second-generation sugars from municipal solid waste.

VAMOS is a collaborative project involving eleven partners from a variety of industries and specialisations. The project aims to showcase, at demonstration scale, the feasibility of producing and valorising second-generation sugars derived from municipal solid waste (MSW). MSW is composed of either mixed domestic residual waste or waste rejected from sorting and recycling processes. Even after rec

ycling, MSW contains significant quantities of paper and card-based materials from which second-generation sugars can be produced. The sugar will be utilised in the generation of three bio-based products:

- A thermoset bio-resin used in the binding of mineral-wool insulation
- Purified lactic acid for the commodities market
- Poly-lactic acid (PLA) and PLA/fibre composite materials to be used in non-food contact applications within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), packaging, furnishings and construction sectors

In addition, the residual solids from the process will be used to create energy products, grouts, adhesives and polyurethane foams. Thereby facilitating a true zero waste and circular economy concept.

The global production capacity of bioplastics is likely to increase from 2.1 million tons in 2020 to approx 2.9 million tons by 2025. The VAMOS project will contribute to this growth through producing polylactic acid (PLA) from waste paper and card residual waste derived paper and card.

Happy New Year to all our followers! 😊

The VAMOS team are looking forward to a busy year, with the hydrolysis and downstream processing plant in Swansea set to be up and running in Q1 this year - transitioning from lab to demonstration scale.

It's the European Week for Waste Reduction!

The VAMOS project works to increase the amount of waste recovered and reduce waste to landfill whilst generating valuable products.

For more info, check out their website:

The European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) encourages all Europeans and not only to carry out awareness-raising actions about sustainable resource and waste management during a single week in November.
