29 September, Pamplona – Creating added value products from mushroom compost is the objective of the BIOrescue project that was successfully launched today.
Mushroom production generates five million tons of compost each year in the European Union. This compost is currently landfilled or used for landscaping purposes even though it contains valuable organic components. In view of transforming this compost into a new income stream for mushroom producers, the BIOrescue project will develop innovative conversion processes to create bio-based products from mushroom compost.
