1.INTRODUCTION

What value can this document offer and to whom
This document outlines different Innovative Solutions that can be of value to companies in the
agri-food sector that want to advance towards a Circular Economy, regarding the use of “organic
matter” and “plastic” resources. We must emphasize that all of them are currently fully commercial
and available for companies that wish to integrate them into their processes.
Specifically, 3 types of solutions are featured:
- Innovative Technologies: references of equipment that companies in the agri-food sector can
integrate in their production process and consequently improve the circularity of their “organic
matter” or “plastic” resources (equipment, as a concept of “investment”).
- Consumables: references of consumables that companies in the agri-food sector can acquire
and thus improve the circularity of their resources (consumables, as a concept of “recurrent expen-
se”).
- Services: references of services available to companies in the agri-food sector which are based
on Business Models aligned with the Circular Economy.

At first, only the Innovative Technologies type was foreseen but as we were identifying *equip-
ments (investment for the user company) and *consumables (recurrent expense for the user
company) as references of Innovative Technologies, we saw the need to create two different
categories for these two types of solutions.

Later, we also saw the need to add a third *services category to list those services offered by
companies identified in the territory of the ORHI partners that are based on Business Models
aligned with the Circular Economy which are available to companies in the agri-food sector in the
territory.

A Summary Sheet of the Solution is offered for each solution presented in this Catalogue. Each
Summary Sheet identifies to which Target Group of the ORHI project the Solution at stake can offer
value, as well as the type of value it can offer.
