Demonstrating high-value commercial bio-products at scale utilising local agri-food waste streams at a circular peatland IMTA site in the Midlands Just Transition Territory.

CIRCULAR-IMTA-DEMO is an ambitious, commercially-focused, interdisciplinary bioeconomy demonstration project that harnesses the use of a novel recirculating, peatland-based, integrated multi-trophic aquaculture/aquatech (IMTA) site at Biowetlands in Mount Lucas, Co. Offaly. It will demonstrate value-chain products for new feeds/foods from cultivated-duckweed and macroalgae at scale that use fish-culture waste-streams.
