Sustainable project

Latvia has many natural grasslands, the management of which produces surplus mown grass. This is valuable biomass that often goes unused because it is unsuitable for animal feed or because there is too much grass in a given year.

The LIFE UpcyclingGrass project develops technologies and business models that enable the effective use of grass biomass in the production of new, competitive and more climate-friendly products, reducing dependence on non-renewable resources.

The pellets replace existing non-renewable agricultural, horticultural, and forestry market products with products made from natural grass biomass. The benefit is that the impact of these industries on the climate is reduced and their operations become more sustainable.
