InnoTrea

Financier: Academy of Finland

Partners: SME's in Finnish Lapland

Purpose:
InnoTrea project fostered the use of forestry side-streams as economically and ecologically sustainable raw material of bioactive compounds for the development of different products. It tested and created innovative treatment techniques through which the high-value compounds of forest trees can be tailored to meet end-use requirements.

Impact:
The treatment techniques created in the project enhance opportunities to utilise bioactive compounds in, for example, cosmetics, food and beverages, wound care, and pharmaceutical industries.
