This pioneering 54-month project started with a kick-off meeting on 13 June 2023 in Herv\u00e1s (Extremadura, Spain). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qqY0GVJQK3k&amp;t=17s\">Here<\/a> you find a short video explaining the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main goal of the SUSTAINEXT project is to industrially deploy 20,000 metric tons of a versatile, multi-product, digital biorefinery to move towards a more competitive bio-industry of botanical extracts. This circular and disruptive model is based on the DYANA concept, i.e. an intelligent, dynamic and analytical biorefinery that integrates the entire supply chain, and enables feedstock valorization based on the initial feedstock composition, to deliver maximum value with the twin goals of zero waste and zero emissions.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ECODESIGN leads the sustainability evaluations using life cycle assessment of the botanical active compounds, extracted from olive, rosmarin, chamomile, pomegranate, verbena, artichoke, echinacea, and thistle, to be extracted in the dynamic bio-refinery of the partner <a href=\"https:\/\/natacgroup.com\/\">NATAC <\/a>in Extremadura (Spain).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These extracts are valuable inputs for the food suplement, animal feed, and pharma industries. The <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainext-project.com\/sustainext-project-is-officially-launched\/\">kick-off meeting<\/a> last June 2023 marks the start for this ambitious and unique project for us.
