Objective
MixMatters proposes an innovative system that effectively separates and valorises three types of mixed biowaste streams with impurities from the agri-food industry (wholesale markets, greenhouses, food and beverage industry) and obtains six high value-added products (powdered ingredients, sugar concentrates, recombinant proteins, green fibres, bioactive compounds, plastic monomers).

Activities
- Automated separation integrating advanced robotics and artificial intelligence. It will also be carried out in containers, separating biowaste at the waste generation sites to avoid inefficient water transport and stream deterioration.
- Optimisation of system operation through a decision-support system, using a digital product passport to ensure transparency and traceability.
- Adaptation to the treatment of various mixed biowaste streams, ensuring the supply of raw material.
