Greenhouses

Description:
The greenhouse showcases (Ax.1b) explore and demonstrate solutions for compostingof horticultural greenhouse residues to produce high quality composts. The focus is oncontaminants. Showcase 1 demonstrate, how conventional plastics used on plants ingreenhouses (clips, pots, markings) can be replaced by biodegradable materials madefrom PLA or TPS-Blends or fiber-based materials. Showcase 2 demonstrates how various biodegradable materials are transformed during composting und thechallenges involved. Regional partners (PSKW, VLACO) accompany the showcases and work with localindustrial composters and greenhouses to draw on their experiences with composting,impurities and biodegradable materials. They are supported by other regional (PCS,EV-ILVO, NP) and transregional partners (TUHH, UHH AU, DELPHY, HA, SMEETS, INRAE,NBF), who also act as multipliers. INRAE transfers results for instance to tomatogreenhouses in Brittany.
