A leader in the circular economy, Les Serres de Bessières partners with ECONOTRE, a local waste treatment facility, to recover residual heat from waste combustion, reducing annual CO₂ emissions by 6,000 tonnes. Natural solutions, such as bumblebee hives, are used to promote biodiversity and eliminate the need for pesticides. The company is dedicated to providing fresh, high-quality, and environmentally friendly produce, supporting local agriculture and reducing reliance on imports.

The Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin (IFV) is a research and engineering organisation dedicated to advancing the wine industry through the development of technical references. IFV conducts experimental activities to support ecological transition across plant breeding, viticulture, winemaking, and product marketing, ensuring the transfer and dissemination of research outcomes. Key priorities include promoting ecological transition, reducing herbicide use, supporting best practices, developing biocontrol solutions, producing certified plants, protecting vineyards from decline, and fostering adaptation to climate change.

B’ZEOS is a green-tech SME specialising in the development of sustainable, seaweed-based packaging materials as alternatives to conventional plastics. The company produces seaweed thermoplastic pellets, which can be processed into packaging using standard manufacturing technologies, enabling straightforward integration into existing production lines. These materials are fully biodegradable and suitable for home composting.

FoodSensing4CE (Smart Sensing Packaging for Sustainable Food Supply Chain) scales up smart packaging for real-time, non-invasive food quality monitoring, reducing waste and boosting supply chain efficiency. It integrates ColorSensing’s AI-based colour analysis into industrial inspection machines for continuous food safety checks. The project aims to demonstrate a fully operational system on packaging lines, improving transparency and compliance. Key impacts include reduced food waste, higher profits, and greater sustainability in the agrifood sector. KPIs target >95% inspection efficacy, 15-20% waste reduction, and adoption by at least three industry partners.

OpenCeres@TVI (OpenSBIS@TVI : Implementation and dissemination of an open-source digital platform to help optimize irrigation strategies in water-scarce environments thanks to connected sensors and open-data) aims to address water scarcity in the Balearic Islands by deploying an open-source, sensor-based digital platform for smarter agricultural irrigation. The platform uses data from simple connected sensors and open-data sources to provide actionable indicators for farmers, optimizing water use without sacrificing crop quality.
TVI and Flutilliant combine expertise in agronomy and data analytics to develop and validate this frugal, focused solution. The project supports regenerative agriculture and shares best practices across the island, promoting sustainable water management. By remaining open-source and dedicated solely to irrigation, OpenCeres ensures accessible, low-tech innovation for long-term agricultural sustainability.

The Reycorks by Verréo project (Industrialization of Reycoks, the first industrial AI-based equipment and software that sorts wine stoppers by their recycling nature and captures data present on their surface to establish cork traceability) aims to reduce carbon emissions by improving the sorting and recycling of wine stoppers, which are often discarded due to their mixed materials and small size. Reycorks technology sorts stoppers into four categories—100% cork, 100% plastic, agglomerated corks, and others—making recycling more efficient and valuable. The system captures producer and supplier data, helping wine producers lower packaging taxes and prove sustainability efforts. Recycled corks become raw materials for European manufacturers, supporting eco-design and addressing regional cork shortages. Reycorks offers a scalable solution for France, Spain, Portugal, and Italy, turning waste into a resource and supporting climate goals.

AGORA (New biobAsed, biodeGradable and PFAs free water and Oil Repellent pAper packaging solution)’s main and only partner, ONYRIQ, has developed a biodegradable, polysaccharide-based coating for paper food packaging that matches the water- and grease-resistance of PFAs-based coatings without environmental or health risks. The innovative coating combines renewable polysaccharide complexes with a small amount of non-persistent acrylic polymer, forming a unique micro-nanostructure for superior barrier properties. The project aims to create and validate high-performance, compostable paper prototypes for fast-food wrapping, meeting strict barrier and biodegradability standards. Prototypes will be rigorously tested for industry compliance and end-of-life sustainability, including compostability and recyclability. Knowledge transfer and industry engagement will ensure broad adoption, advancing safer, eco-friendly food packaging solutions.

SSOIL (Valorisation of agri-food residues as functionalised compost-like material) project develops compact solid-state fermentation (SSF) technology to transform agri-food and pruning wastes into compost-like, nutrient-rich biostimulants directly on-site. By mixing unprocessed and nutrient-enriched wood as bulking agents, SSOIL produces tailored organic fertilizers containing macronutrients, organic carbon, and biostimulants like IAA. The project leverages leading SMEs and research partners to ensure innovation, technology transfer, and practical validation with end-users. SSF will be optimized and upscaled from lab to pilot scale, with agronomic testing of the resulting compost-like material. SSOIL aims to boost agri-food sector sustainability, valorize waste, and increase income for technology providers and users.
