 Print

New uses and better valorization of different biomass sources. Market transition towards a biobased future

The Potential and Properties of the By-Product of Grain Drying as a Recycled Material

Short Introductive summary

The European Innovation Partnership VILSKE project, implemented in Central Finland, examines the potential of grain drying by-products as horse bedding. The goal is to evaluate material properties, processing needs, profitability, and environmental sustainability. The project emphasizes both material and energy utilization and life cycle modeling of the entire chain. This article summarizes initial findings on the availability and potential of these by-products, their property requirements, and suitability for recycling use.
