Module 8. How to achieve the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG) in the Mediterranean
8.3. Successful Case studies in Egypt Rice crop Rice Bran
(RB), Rice Husk (RH) and Rice Straw (RS)
Olive Crop &Orange peels
The learning goals
1. Recognize the physical and chemical composition of agro-food
waste material
2. Identify the material advantages and disadvantages.
3. Understand factors that affect agro-food waste material selection
4. Explore the opportunities for the high value-added products and
their industrial scaling-up
5. Consider options for resource allocation and team building
Rice crop waste management

Value added products from
rice husk, straw and bran.
Value added products from rice husk, straw.
A- Natural Fiber Plastic Composites
Pilot unit for NFPC pellets production (Dr. Helal Unit)
• Technology transfer from
Germany
• Various applications
• Satisfy market needs in Egypt.
• Needs high investments.
Value added products from rice husk, straw.
B-Eco Boards- MDF
Innovative technology. No artificial glue used
Value added products from rice husk, straw.
C- Activated Carbon
The technology was a result of research collaboration with Dr. Helal
team from Egypt; National Research Centre, Agriculture Research
Centre and France; Lab. de Chimie du Solide Minéral (LCSM)
Université Henri Poincaré Nancy, France.
RS RH
Value added products from rice husk, straw
BioChar from RS & RH
Vegetable crop production under rice husk compost and
Biochar as a soilless culture; under saline soil and
under rareness of irrigation water
Value added products from rice bran
A- Nutraceuticals
Value added products from rice bran
B- Functional food
Availability: Egypt accounts for 15 K Tons of wasted peels per factory per year
Physical Composition : A pre-storagemdrying process is required to decrease the
moisture content to prevent mold growth
High Value Added products : Orange peel is considered a very good source of Pectin
which is currently incorporated in several different industries ranging from food
ingredients (jams and confectionaries) to Pharmaceutical raw materials
Technology : In cooperation with Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University a collaborative
research study to develop a more cost effective system on a pilot scale for further
investment scouting
R&D Funding: Science and Technology Development Fund (EGP 1 Million)
High Value Nutraceuticals from Orange Peels
Current Situation : Due to high initial investment costs for a complete industrial scale,
the developed Pilot scale is designed to meet the local market demand first and after
the success, industrial scaling plan will be put in action
Orange peels waste management
Conclusion (lessons learnt)
• How to select a waste or residue.
• How to utilize findings from studying the material’s chemical and
physical components.
• How to choose the technology and design the entire development
process.
• How to use knowledge, technology and R&D to serve the goal of
innovative product development.
• How to evaluate the opportunity and how to apply lean innovation
measures along the process of product development.
