Life F3
LIFE is the EU’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action. Under LIFE, Trotec has set up LIFE F3, an ambitious project in which we process otherwise difficult to process food products (such as syrups, products containing nuts, pits, peel and skin, and hard to digest products) and food with complex packaging into a high-quality basic ingredient for animal feed. LIFE F3 is a transnational project that is already active in Belgium and France, with further rollout in the EU planned in the future.
We also constantly look for ways to bring our sustainable ‘food becomes feed’ approach to new markets such as pet food and insect-based foods.
Crossroads
Crossroads is an interregional (Flanders-Netherlands) cooperation project co-financed by the European Union. The project supports and subsidizes product or process innovations.
Trotec's Crossroads project aims to develop logistics tools suitable for collecting rising foodstuffs from industrial bakeries.
Namely, the problems with these products are as follows:
- Sticky and difficult to move
- Increase in dough volume due to the rising nature of dough
- Fluidity leading to leaks from storage and transport containers.
