This workshop was moderated by Willie van den Broek, Joana Wensing and Carlo Verhardt.
The first part of the workshop consisted of pitches from 18 (research) projects. These projects ranged from extracting inks and dyes from used coffee grounds and producing 3D printing material from organic waste to edible insects and researching the political side of organic waste and so on. The aims were to provide an overview of initiatives and research on the subject of organic waste and to give stakeholders the opportunity to connect with each other.

The second part of the workshop was an interactive session intended to gain structured insight into the subject. This involved looking at different 'key waste streams' and which types of waste belong in these categories. Subsequently, we looked at the 'key needs' related to the aforementioned 'waste streams' from different perspectives (technology, policy, economy, social, etcetera). Some examples are the process of waste separation, cooperation, start-up funding, information provision/education and infrastructure. Next, a brief brainstorming session was held about 'key solutions' and a follow-up session was planned in which the results of the workshop are summarized and discussed.
