Our role in the project:

The BETA TC was responsible of the sustainability work package in the INNOTRANSLACT project. Thus, in a fist stage, the BETA TC sustainability team determined the current environmental performance of the artisan dairy products produced in the border area of ​​Spain and France. Then, a specific tool (Innotanslact Tool) was developed within the framework of the EU Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methods. Innotanslact Tool allow artisan dairy producers to continuously determine the PEF performance of their products by their own; and therefore, start to implement suitable and circular economy practices in their production system. Finally, the BETA TC executed energy audits to several artisan dairy facilities so identify energy consumption hot-spots and then propose improvements towards more energy efficient artisan dairy production systems.
