Production of antimicrobial bio-composite films from citrus waste by fungi

Annually around 15 million tons of citrus waste is produced by juice production industry. This project aims to develop methods for production of bio-composite materials from citrus wastes.

Computational modelling of metal recovery and water purification

In this project we combine computational and experimental methods to design new materials to purify water and retrieve valuable metals.

Recycling of end-of-life textile materials by fabrication of all-cellulose composites - RECYCELL

This proposal aims at changing this by developing an innovative material recycling technique RECYCELL for end-of-life textiles.

Production of new renewable materials and biodegradable materials, enzymes and biogas through fungal solid-state fermentation onto lignocellulosic substrates

The projects aims at using filamentous fungi for the production of new materials through solid-state fermentation onto lignocellulosic waste.

Entrepreneurship and Creativity: Case Studies in Design and Fashion Companies

Under the government's action plan for cultural and creative businesses VINNOVA, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems, finances and organizes studies of small and medium-sized enterprises to analyse the conditions for business growth opportunities in this sector. The studies are carried out in 2011-2012. Entrepreneurship and Creativity: Case Studies in Design and Fashion Companies is one of five projects in this program.

Carbon capture from syngas to Single Cell Protein (SCP) and use as fish feed ingredient

This SynoProtein project aims to develop, mature and demonstrate a novel carbon-negative process that enables high value creation from sawmill by-products through carbon capture and use (CCU).

Developing of process for increased ethanol production using filamentous fungi

The aim of this collaboration project is to, at demonstration scale, further verify and develop the process concept developed in a previous project (41244-1). An edible filamentous fungi ferment cellulose and hemicellulose from thin stillage, resulting in 3 % increase in ethanol yield, production of feed products and reduced production costs due to energy efficiency.
