Biomass conversion into high-value chemical products and fuels
Biorefineries in theory would use multiple forms of biomass to produce a flexible mix of
products, including fuels, power, heat, chemicals and materials. In a biorefinery, biomass would be
converted into high-value chemical products and fuels (both gas and liquid). Byproducts and
residues, as well as some portion of the fuels produced, would be used to fuel on-site power
generation or cogeneration facilities producing heat and power.

BREAD4PLA is a LIFE demonstrative European project.
It will demonstrate to the European countries the feasibility of an innovative, user
friendly and sustainable environmental solution which promotes the waste recovery in
the specific agro-food sector of the bakery industry

Starbucks food waste transformed into bioplastics By Joe Whitworth, 23-Aug-2012
http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/Supply-Chain/Starbucks-food-waste-transformed-into-bioplastics
Starbucks’ food waste sent to a ‘food biorefinery’ has been turned into bioplastics that can
be used in packaging thanks to Hong Kong researchers.
The biorefinery changed food waste such as spent coffee grounds and stale bakery goods from
the retail chain in Hong Kong into succinic acid for making plastics. Carol S. K. Lin led the
research team who developed successful laboratory testing of a biorefinery intended to change
food waste into plastics and other everyday products. Their report on the project came at the
244th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society.
