Living Waste

The proposed solution involves developing an integrated process to convert pomace and seeds into useful co-products, oil, grape powder, and crushed seeds. By transforming waste into valued ingredients, the environmental issues are mitigated

Reducing emissions into the atmosphere and soil
Circular economy
Engages vulnerable groups of the population

Climate-Related Hazards Addressed:

- Methane and other gas emissions from decomposing pomace

Specific Problems Solved:

- Provides information, training, and solutions for climate-smart agriculture
- Raises awareness among food chain actors about sustainable production
- Reduces food waste across the supply chain
- Enhances food security and supports the livelihoods of smallholder farmers

TRL7. Integrated pilot system demonstrated
The innovation is at the indicated TRL level due to years of extensive work and expertise at the Odessa Oilseed Plant in processing grape seed. The plant has established technical specifications for this product and its raw materials. Over the years, the team has conducted thorough research, developed processing methods, and set quality standards. The innovation has reached a mature TRL level as it has progressed from the theoretical concept to practical implementation, backed by a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the input parameters. The plant’s continuous commitment to refining its processes and maintaining high-qualitystandards contributes to the innovation’s stability and reliability.UA-BIO-108INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITED CERTIFICATION BODIES EQUIVALENT EUROPEAN UNION ORGANIC PRODUCTION.ISO 22000 – 2005 (TUV NORD CERT)

How does it work?

Based on the information provided, the Zero Waste program for the Sardinia case study focuses on developing and spreading innovative agronomic inputs from the circular economy to ensure sustainable crop production. This includes organic fertilizers, soil amendments, and other products made from recycled organic materials to replace chemical inputs. I understand the goal is to improve agricultural resilience and food security in Sardinia in an environmentally sustainable way. The circular economy approach aligns well with the region’s goals around zero waste. Using organic waste streams to create useful agronomic inputs will reduce pollution from waste while also enhancing soil health and crop yields. This program seems like an excellent fit to address Sardinia’s needs. Organic fertilizers and amendments can build soil organic matter, improving moisture retention and nutrient availability. This helps farms be more resilient to droughts or heat waves caused by climate change. Locally produced organic inputs also support local jobs and sustainable economic development. Overall, I believe the Zero Waste program proposed for Sardinia provides environmental, economic, and social benefits. The circular model creates value from waste resources while enabling climate-smartagriculture. Since food production and zero waste are top priorities for Sardinia, this innovation directly serves the region’s goals around sustainable development and climate adaptation. I hope this provides helpful perspective on why the Zero Waste program seems impactful and well-aligned to address the challenges faced.

This innovation was developed on the basis of the work of the Odessa kernel oil plant TOV AVA, which has a history of 130 years in this industry. We have technical documentation for this raw material, we understand and know what quality is required. This program is complemented by the creation of grape pulp acceptance centers in the wine regions of Ukraine, and will contribute to the set goals and objectives. The program was created based on our initiative and knowledge. We have support and cooperation with the Odessa Food Academy. Certificate ISO 22000 – 2205. Certificate ORGANIC STANDARD. (With partnership with IMO Switzerland and Balkan Biosert.)

1. Malfunctions in the operation of the equipment due to a difficult situation with electricity and supply due to terrorist activities2. The outflow of personnel due to hostilities and migration to other countries, the emergence of difficulties in providing the working group with personnel of the necessary qualifications External risks1. The complex geopolitical and economic situation in the country, which leads to an increase in the prices of raw materials, difficulties with the logistical connections of the surrounding territories).2. A decrease in demand for products due to a decrease in the budget possibilities of Ukrainians.3. An increase in the price of input raw materials will lead to an increase in the cost price.4. Attracting a larger share of consumers by competitors due to an active marketing campaign (strategy).5. Inflation is a change in the exchange rate of the hryvnia and the dollar, due to which sales may decrease due to price increases, and the price of new oil refining equipment may increase.6. Lack of logistical connections with the surrounding territories (raw material supply problems).7. Problems of timely supply of material and technical resources. 8. Increase in the cost of logistics during export.
