Our project coordinator, Natac, has officially started the civil work for the new Flagship manufacturing plant in Hervás (Extremadura), western Spain.
This new facility will transform their current production plant into the most modern, digital and innovative sustainable plant extracts factory, placing both the company and the region at the forefront of the sector at a global level.
This circular and disruptive factory model is based on the DYANA concept, an analytical, dynamic, and intelligent extract factory that seamlessly integrates the entire supply chain from raw materials to end-users, enabling cascading valorisation of the feedstock. Batch-optimised based on the initial feedstock composition, it delivers maximum value with twin goals of zero waste and zero emissions.
The transition towards a green and circular economy in Extremadura region faces challenges related to new productive models, measures on the industrial fabric and R&D&I, amomg others, in a context of demographic threat. From the SustaiNext point of view, those challenges also represent opportunities as changes throughout the value chain of each of the productive sectors of the regional economy will be required, from product design to new business models, new forms of recycling and use of resources.
The aim of the project is to contribute to adding value from an innovative and sustainable approach, and this announcement is the first step.
