On 22 October 2025, the Circularis BioCluster — bringing together the EU-funded projects VALORISH, ONE EARTH, and PROMISEANG — will host a webinar exploring how animal by-products can be transformed into valuable resources through biotechnological innovation.

Fermentation is not just for bread and wine. VALORISH uses fermentation to unlock proteins in fish by-products, creating a nutrient-dense hydrolysate that replaces costly peptones and fuels the sustainable production of bacteriocins, astaxanthin, and vitamin B12. Two steps, one clear goal: turn “waste” into market-ready value for the food chain. Want the recipe? Keep reading.

On Thursday, July 17, 2025, the Circularis Biocluster held its first internal workshop online. This session brought partners together from EU-funded projects ONE EARTH, PROMISEANG and VALORISH to exchange technical updates and early-stage findings, all aimed at promoting the sustainable conversion of agri-food by-products into valuable bio-based products.

The VALORISH project is redefining how we deal with fish industry by-products. By combining biotechnology with advanced computational tools, it’s building a new generation of biorefineries—more efficient, more sustainable, and closer to zero waste. Read more.

Biorefineries are reshaping how we turn natural resources and waste into valuable products — but even green industries need cleaner tools. Read more about how Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents offer a safer, eco-friendly alternative to traditional solvents.

On May 7–8, 2025, the VALORISH Consortium gathered for its 2nd General Assembly, celebrating the project’s first anniversary with two days of collaboration, insights, and forward planning. Read more.
