EU blue circular bioeconomy

Innovative approaches for marine and freshwater based ingredients to develop sustainable foods and value chains

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Innovative food from marine and freshwater ecosystems

IMPRESS is centred around the greater EU Bioeconomy and Blue Growth Strategies which strive to support the development of “green” technology to deliver sustainable products and processes, while contributing to the overall health of European aquatic ecosystems.

Green Technology

Sustainable Products

OUR VISION

To provide tangible solutions for the development of marine and freshwater bio-based economies in Europe that take full advantage of the underutilized marine and freshwater low trophic species (LTS).

OUR MISSION

To create, test, upscale and bring to the market new knowledge-intensive products derived from LTS and processing waste waters.

Needs to be addressed

Problems & impress SOLUTIONS

IMPRESS will empower stakeholders to
transition from current practices to more
INNOVATIVE PRODUCTION and
PROCESSING of LTS, using dynamic tools/
demonstrations and multi-actor knowledge
exchange.

High levels of waste across value chains

Valorise side streams and processing waste streams to create zero-waste value chains

Overfishing of some species, underutilisation of others

Develop new food products, and promote underutilised low trophic species

Energy intensive processes

Go beyond the state of the art and deploy energy efficient processing and fractionation techniques

Consumer perception

Promote the positive nutritional, health and environmental benefits of consuming underutilised species and provide capacity building opportunities for all stakeholders

About LTS

What are low trophic species (LTS)?

Low trophic level species form the bottom tiers of the food chain and are typically the producers (e.g. seaweed) or feed primarily on plant material or plankton in marine ecosystems.
