Blue Synergy SL

📣The VALORISH Project partners met in for its General Assembly and Review Meeting.

🔵Blue Synergy was pleased to take part in the latest VALORISH activities in Trondheim, Norway, where the consortium came together for an in-person meeting hosted by SINTEF - We thank the SINTEF team for hosting the consortium and ensuring such a productive meeting.

Representing Blue Synergy, our Sustainability Engineer, Patricio Ivan Cano Santana, and our Social Researcher & Communication Specialist, Julio Morales Daza, joined partners for a valuable exchange on the project’s progress, ongoing technical work, and upcoming milestones.

✅Over the course of the meeting, the consortium reviewed recent developments across the project and aligned on the way forward to advance sustainable and circular approaches for the valorisation of fish processing side streams. The activities in Trondheim also included the VALORISH review meeting. We are grateful to Project Officer, Stefania Rocca, and external reviewer, Joana Carvalho, for participating and sharing constructive feedback to support the project’s continued development.

*️⃣At Blue Synergy SL, we are proud to contribute to and to support the development of innovative pathways that promote the sustainable and socially responsible use of fish by-products, as well as strengthening Europe’s transition towards a circular bioeconomy.

🗞️VALORISH at EUBCE - European Biomass Conference & Exhibition

👏We are pleased to share that our Sustainability Engineer, Patricio Ivan Cano Santana, participated in the on behalf of the VALORISH Project, where he presented an oral communication on the preliminary results of the (LCA) conducted within the project.

✅This work forms part of VALORISH’s holistic assessment under WP6. The LCA analysis is led by our partner IDENER, with Blue Synergy contributing to the goal and scope definition, as well as data compilation.

➡️During the presentation, Patricio shared the scenarios recently reported in Deliverable D6.1, submitted last month. These included analyses of conventional fish waste management practices, selected as the benchmark scenario, as well as preliminary results from processes for the production of fish oil, proteins, astaxanthin, collagen, and hydroxyapatite.

🔵At Blue Synergy SL, we are proud to support the integration of sustainability assessment into innovative circular solutions, helping to evaluate the environmental performance of pathways and their potential contribution to more sustainable value chains.
