Ecological porous pipes for irrigation systems using rubber waste
A Polish research institute has developed a new type of porous pipes (hoses) that allows controlled release of water, to be used in irrigation systems. The pipes are made of recycled raw materials: polyolefins and vulcanised rubber waste from tyres. Developed solution is an ecological and money-saving irrigation and fertigation system that can be used in agriculture as well as in maintenance of recreation areas. The institute is looking for partners interested in implementing this technology.

New technology of land reclamation on the basis of derivates from recycling of communal waste
A Polish company developed new technology based on exploiting the segregated fraction of useless communal waste - fibrous of vegetable and animal origin (textiles, wet untransferable papers and cardboard packages) and organic materials unfit to traditional recycling, because of excessively fraction dividedness or adiposity. The firm is looking for partnership in areas of waste management, garbage disposals or land reclamation.

Low-cost technology to produce high-grade ethanol from agricultural and forest wastes
A Czech inventor has developed a technology for high-grade ethanol production based on a patented technology processing lignocellulose biomass originated from agricultural and forest waste (straw, wood chips, sorell, etc.). The technology also provides commercially utilisable products such as lignin, furfural, furan and acids (acetic and formic), and generates an extremely low amount of unobjectionable waste. Prospects interested in buying, installation and running the technology are sought.

Recovery and valorisation as feed of cheese whey
An Italian public research company has performed a research activity based on thermal concentration of cheese whey, to obtain a product with a good nutritional value, stable and easily deliverable to cattle. The process for whey treatment is performed in a small mobile plant, cheap and easy to manage even by non-specialised workers. This technology allows to recover nutrients and save energy and water by means of a simple treatment. Cheese production factories are being sought.
