The creation of «ΕΛΑΙΑ -
Olive Mill Waste Management Network»
is an initiative of the Waste Management Laboratory of the
University of the Aegean within the framework of NAIAS Programme –
“Innovative Olive Mill Waste Management Systems.
«ELAIA»’s
mission is to develop a network to serve
as a valuable tool for information exchange and technology transfer
in the field of olive mill waste management. This will be achieved
by linking up all parties involved in the olive product business,
bringing them into contact for future co-operation.
At the initial/preliminary stage, the network’s work will
focus on olive mill waste management and the overall
enhancement/improvement of their environmental
efficiency/performance in the olive oil production process.
Tools:
-
The
presentation of the basic data and activities of each institution
participating in the «ELAIA - Network» in Greece and abroad
[list of participating
institutions/companies]
-
[Reference
catalogue] of
bibliography, scientific publications, patents and other research
projects that are assessed as particularly attractive on the
worldwide scale.
-
A discussion board for the exchange of opinions
between ELAIA and private/public bodies of the EU regions that are
faced with the olive mill waste management problem
[Discussion Board] (working
language is English)
-
Presentation of the pilot actions for the management of olive mill
waste within NAIAS – «Innovative Olive Mill Waste Management
Systems» with a
list of the olive mills of the North Aegean Region
[LINK to
NAIAS 7.6]
-
List of
[useful links] related to the OMW
management issue and olive oil production.
Objectives:
-
to explore alternative treatment
technologies– management of olive mill, on the global scale
-
to link up the collaborating
institutions with scientific organisations both in Greece and abroad
and the provision of opportunities for cooperation within research
programmes.
-
to establish a Technology Transfer
Strategy, via the Waste Management Laboratory
for olive mill owners and olive oil producers
-
to link up all parties involved in
the olive and olive product production process, ultimately aimed at
optimizing the environmental performance/efficiency of the product
Life Cycle
