Research collaboration on circular systems to redirect agricultural surplus

Relocate Future Waste, developed by Trinitek Group, explores new models for redirecting agricultural surpluses and food production side streams into higher-value industrial applications before they become waste.

Large volumes of agricultural materials are lost due to cosmetic standards, overproduction, or supply chain inefficiencies. While these materials retain economic and nutritional value, there is currently limited coordination between producers and industries that could use them as inputs.

The project aims to investigate how coordination systems, logistics models, and traceability tools can enable these materials to be redirected toward sectors such as food ingredients, nutraceuticals, animal feed, biomaterials, fertilizers, and bioenergy.

We are seeking research partners interested in collaborating on topics such as:

• circular food systems and bioeconomy
• resource efficiency in agricultural supply chains
• industrial symbiosis and material flow coordination
• traceability and digital systems for circular supply chains
• environmental and economic impact assessment of upcycling models

The collaboration could involve joint pilot studies, applied research, or participation in future European innovation and research projects.

We welcome connections with universities, research institutes, innovation labs, and organizations interested in advancing circular solutions within the food system.
