The biorefinery and blue bioeconomy project (BioResque) for treating both fresh and environmentally sedimented industrial cellulosic side streams was started in December 2023. It is a continuation for our earlier work for circulating all forest industry process residues into green chemicals, energy gases and organic soil improvement. In this effort microbial communities are instigated for process improvement and ecosystem engineering goals. For the fertilization uses zero fibres and other organic residues and biomasses could be microbiologically upgraded by a standardizable process. The resulting materials could be applied for establishing and complementing fertile soils, which is the main goal of sustainable soil managements.
