CLIMATHON Murcia 2019 was organised by CETENMA together with ALEM, Local Energy Agency of the Municipality of Murcia. The “CLIMATHON” event idea comes from EIT Climate-KIC, a Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC). Then, this Community is part of the The European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT): an independent body of the European Union.

The EIT Climate-KIC explains that thi event is:

…a year-round programme, with a powerful solutions-hackathon at its core, translating climate action solutions into tangible projects, supporting climate positive businesses & start-ups and addressing local policy changes. -EIT Climate-KIC

CLIMATHON Murcia 2019

During the “Climathon Murcia 2019”, the challenge addressed was waste management.

Murcia traditional orchard has a serious problem in terms of waste management collection and valorisation. Currently, these wastes from agricultural activities are not handled properly (…). – CLIMATHON MURCIA 2019

Thus, it was a great context to present the Valuewaste project and to discuss about its potential!

VALUEWASTE proposes an integrated system for urban biowaste valorisation into key strategic products for the EU.
