Within the framework of the Bioplast project, according to Action 3 “Evaluation of biodegradable plastics and current market trends” and within it, according to activity 3.1 “Evaluation and study of the different waste streams of the agricultural sector for the manufacture of PHAs” a report (deliverable 3.1.1) was prepared including  the data collected by the partners of the project in the Spanish part of the POCTEFA zone, about the different agricultural and domestic waste with potential use as raw material in the production of bioplastics. Data on the type of waste, total volume produced, spatial distribution (map of waste sites) and chemical characteristics were included.

On the other hand, last July, 2018, the DBA center took part in the consortium meeting that took place in Girona (Spain) where the activities of the project were monitored, among them the analysis of the information compiled by the  project partners related to activity 3.1. As a result, it was decided that the most suitable residues to be used in the production of PHAs were those from the production of sunflower oil and the residues of wheat and barley straw.
