Our Projects
We have experience with both large European projects and smaller regional ones. Learn more about our ongoing and completed projects and the role that IMPACT plays in them.
ONGOING PROJECTS
FOLOU
The FOLOU project’s aim is to decrease the food lost during the primary production stage and to increase the understanding of food loss. The objective is to set up a mechanism allowing change based on monitoring and measuring food losses. As IMPACT, we will set out the communications strategy, write reports and press releases, set up webinars and workshops and organize the final event.
Novafert
NOVAFERT aims to demonstrate the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility and safe use of a wide portfolio of alternative fertilizing products containing recovered nutrients from different waste streams, to facilitate the replacement of synthetic and mineral fertilizers, thus reduce environmental impacts and external nutrient dependence in agriculture. We, IMPACT, will lead communication and dissemination activities and ensure that research findings are efficiently translated and disseminated to improve interaction with targeted stakeholders.
The main goal of the ReJuice project is to develop at least three sustainable and economically interesting value chains for processing and reusing the liquid fraction from green waste streams.
The project focuses not only on roadside clippings and grass but also other common green waste streams such as tomato stems, leek waste, flower stems and duckweed.
ReNu2Cycle
ReNu2Cycle builds on the results of a previous project called Renu2Farm. The goal of the project is to reduce North-West Europe’s dependence on fossil-based fertilizers, which must be imported and therefore have a cost. The goal is to switch to ‘recycling-based fertilizers’ that can be produced locally and offer economic and environmental benefits. Our role as IMPACT is to create the communications strategy and organize workshops, webinars and demonstration sessions.
Nutribudget
The NUTRIBUDGET project was launched in Autumn 2022. Its main objective is to develop and implement a prototype of an integrated nutrient management platform, called Nutriplatform, in various regions across Europe, as a decision-support tool (DST) for farmers, advisors, European policy makers and regional authorities. IMPACT will lead the communication work package.
COMPLETED PROJECTS
Grassification
The Grassification project sought to refine roadside grass clippings for the biobased and circular economy. IMPACT set out the communication strategy, wrote reports and press releases, set up webinars and livestreams and organized the final event.
Grass2Algae
The Grass2Algae operational group evaluated the use of grass juice for growing microalgae as an additional revenue for farmers. IMPACT organized the final event, wrote a press release and spread updates to its network of stakeholders.
ReNu2Farm
Up to now, farmers have essentially been using artificial fertilizers, for which the EU is heavily dependent on imports. The ReNu2Farm project is designed to increase the recycling rates for the plant nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in the primary food production chain in North-West Europe.
ALG-AD
ALG-AD is a Interreg NWE funded project in which new technology is being developed to take excess waste nutrients produced from anaerobic digestion of food and farm waste to cultivate algal biomass for animal feed and other products of value. The project brings together a group of scientists and engineers from 11 different partners in four countries across North-West Europe. These academics are working together with industry to develop a circular economy solution to create wealth from waste.
