Research and Development
Research in the Field of Biology
The research currently being initiated around the Self-Managed EVUPs, concerning the fields of biology and forestry science, has the main objective of finding new applications and products from materials that we currently consider waste.
The main studies can be summarized in these four points:
- The valorization of semi-processed screened wood chips.
- The applications of the Compost 0-20 y Wood Chips P-16s/ P-31S /P63screening waste.
- The valorization of leachates from RPJ (pruning and gardening waste).
- The valorization of biomass production / bedding / dry and wet mulching.
To carry out this research, the company Sots Verds has partnered with CTFC, the Center for Forest Science and Technology of Catalonia, which has accepted proposals to maximize the yield from all the processes and materials gathered at the Self-Managed EVUPs.
Research in the Field of Technology
A Self-Managed EVUP serves as a valuable resource not only for biological material but also for technological research in fields like mechanics and ICT (Information and Communication Technology). This interdisciplinary research can significantly contribute to scientific and technological advancements in various areas.
The recent lines of research focus on:
- The development of technologies for material detection through imaging.
- The computer processing of data for collection, comparison, and conclusions from the scales.
- The development of specialized machinery for screening.
- The study of trial and error in analyzing new production and supply processes for the valorized products.
This research contributes to creating more efficient and innovative solutions that will further enhance the circular economy and sustainable practices in waste management.
