Fiber reject for the production of edible mushrooms and activated charcoal

The aim of the project is to further investigate the possibility of using fiber rejects from the recycling of waste paper as a component in substrates for cultivation of edible mushrooms and to develop suitable solutions for the upgrading of spent substrate, such as activated charcoal. The Energy Agency deems that the project has the potential to contribute to a more sustainable material use in society by utilizing waste paper that otherwise would not have been recycled. At the same time, the domestic production of foods with a reduced carbon footprint can be increased.
