Business models on bio-based: the waste generated during tomatoes’processing PROCESSED PRODUCT FINAL AMOUNT WASTE GENERATED Peeled tomatoes 44% - Pulps; purees 48% - Concentrates 8% -
TYPE OF WASTE B B P P R O C E S S / APPLICATION BENEFITS/CONSIDERATIONS EXTRACTION Tomato skin Bioplastic films Food/agricultural industry High molecular weight, temperature resistance, Business models on bio-based: the waste generated elasticity, viscosity Lycopene extracted Pharmaceutics and cosmetic Antioxidant, antimicrobic, antitumoral, anti-fungal, during tomatoes’processing anti-neurodegenerative, etc.; lycopene higher in the recovered tomato peels rather than processed pulp; cardiovascular and cancer diseases prevention; Fibres from lycopene Pharmaceutics Improving digestion; reduction of glucose and cholesterol levels in blood; Bio-lacquer Metal cans industry (food) Reduced emission of production compared to other lacquers; lower hazardous substances released from the tin; Pectin extracted in two steps Corrosion inhibitors and food Tomato peel good source of pectin with ammonium oxalate/oxalic industry additives acid, under reflux Silage Animal feed Need combination of other organic material to reach good quality of dry matters Mixed with other organic Tyres Reduced env. impact (usual reinforcing material is matters such as egg shells carbon); strengthening qualities; Toasting Biofuels Higher calorific power, higher preservation and homogeneity of the biofuels than more common ligneous material Tomato seeds Oil extracted combined with Pharmaceutics, cosmetics Preventing arteriogenesis; preventing cardiovascular lycopene diseases; T o m a t o w a s t e Anaerobic Digestion Energy production Methane levels higher than using manure only; c o m b i n a t i o n s ; Composting Fertilizers Excellent fertilizing qualities, extirpation of diseases tomato waste & other and organisms harmful to the plants organic matter
Business models on bio-based: the waste generated during tomatoes’processing Actors Prerequisites Benefits Waste isolation Tomato Processers Volumes (can be reached with associations) Access to new Business models Proximity with markets processors Waste Collectors Income Shipping and generation delivery means Increased Transforming Know-how of processing/ networking facilities extraction Know-how on new products Environmental integration sustainability New industries Access to target market
