The Network


The creation of «ΕΛΑΙΑ - Olive Mill Waste Management Network» is an initiative of the Waste Management Laboratory of the University of the Aegean within the framework of NAIAS Programme – “Innovative Olive Mill Waste Management Systems.

«ELAIA»’s mission is to develop a network to serve as a valuable tool for information exchange and technology transfer in the field of olive mill waste management. This will be achieved by linking up all parties involved in the olive product business, bringing them into contact for future co-operation.

At the initial/preliminary stage, the network’s work will focus on olive mill waste management and the overall enhancement/improvement of their environmental efficiency/performance in the olive oil production process.

Tools:

  • The presentation of the basic data and activities of each institution participating in the «ELAIA - Network» in Greece and abroad [list of participating institutions/companies]
  • [Reference catalogue] of bibliography, scientific publications, patents and other research projects that are assessed as particularly attractive on the worldwide scale.
  • A discussion board for the exchange of opinions between ELAIA and private/public bodies of the EU regions that are faced with the olive mill waste management problem [Discussion Board] (working language is English)
  • Presentation of the pilot actions for the management of olive mill waste within NAIAS – «Innovative Olive Mill Waste Management Systems» with a list of the olive mills of the North Aegean Region [LINK to NAIAS 7.6]
  • List of [useful links] related to the OMW management issue and olive oil production.

Objectives:

  • to explore alternative treatment technologies– management of olive mill, on the global scale
  • to link up the collaborating institutions with scientific organisations both in Greece and abroad and the provision of opportunities for cooperation within research programmes.
  • to establish a Technology Transfer Strategy, via the Waste Management Laboratory for olive mill owners and olive oil producers
  • to link up all parties involved in the olive and olive product production process, ultimately aimed at optimizing the environmental performance/efficiency of the product Life Cycle
