Pulp2Value
  • Agricultural sidestreams, Arabinose, Biomass pretreatment, Biorefinery, Crystallization, Demonstration (TRL 5-7), Finished projects, Food, Food grade, Galacturonic acid, H2020 BBI-IA-DEMO, Halal and kosher, Market sample production, Microcellulose fibers, Partner, Personal and home care, Polymers and packaging and biomaterials, Product recovery & purification, Sugar beet pulp, Ton scale

Sugar beet pulp (SBP) accounts for approx. 13 million tonnes in Europe and is a major residual stream from the sugar beet industry, which is currently valorised as low value feed and/or green gas. In order to increase the value of its side streams, PULP2VALUE developed multiple extraction techniques to isolate more valuable products from this large fraction of sugar beet pulp.
