ACWEB supports sustainable agriculture with innovative solutions that integrate waste management and resource recovery across production chains in a circular economy approach.
Agriculture is a key pillar that underpins Australian society but has to rely on continuous innovation and sound environmental practices to ensure its on-going profitability and sustainability.
ACWEB supports sustainable agriculture with innovative solutions that integrate waste management and resource recovery across production chains in a circular economy approach. We develop, optimize and apply technologies to recover renewable energy, renewable fertilizers, and novel microbial protein feeds from organic wastes.
Our overall aim is to maximise resource use efficiency within agro-industrial sectors to benefit the economy, environment, and society.
