Title: | Valorisation of Mixed Fish Waste by Blue Collagen Extraction Using Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES) |
Area: | Earth, Atmosphere & Environment Sciences |
Focus Area: | Frugal Innovation, Waste to value |
Status: | Proof of Concept established |
Patent: | In process |
Social Benefits: | The social impact of the project is substantial, contributing to the generation of four green livelihoods for every ton of processed fish waste. The initiative focuses on the integration of marginalized communities, particularly waste pickers and coastal fishing communities. Furthermore, it plays a vital role in offsetting 400kgs of emissions per ton of processed fish waste, demonstrating a commitment to environmental sustainability. Additionally, the project aims to reduce waste management costs in coastal areas by an impressive 30%. |
