Objectives:

To identify opportunities within the global availability of more than 1 billion tonnes of agrifood by-products (such as husks, hulls, bran, germ, etc) being under-valorised in terms of nutrients or components and going to waste.

Working Model:

Bühler group has identified three key opportunity areas

• Component extract
  • By using a process or technology that can extract valuable components from by-products of agro-industrial food processes
• Direct nutrient recovery
  • Upcycling the micro and macronutrients from by-products through an applied process or technology into new food products such as alternative meat/dairy, savoury/sweet snacks or others
• Energy or heat recovery
  • Novel processes which can efficiently recover the energy value of low-value byproducts

As part of the Capitaland Master Sustainability Plan, Ascott is committed to reducing waste over the next few years. There is an increasing need for the group to find solutions that can address the needs of the properties that Ascott operates globally. The properties range from Serviced Residences, Rental Housing, Hotels, Senior Living Estates and Student Accommodations.

Objectives:

Because each Ascott property is on average 200 rooms, and does not operate F&B, the scale of the property does not justify the purchase of expensive equipment that costs tens of thousands of dollars.

The Ascott is looking for a solution that will help Ascott-operated properties with at least two out of four of the following:

• Waste Measurement
• Waste Tracking
• Recycling
• Waste Reduction

Working Model:

The solution should be lightweight and if possible, offered on the as-a-service model.

As part of the Capitaland Master Sustainability Plan, The Ascott is committed to reducing water and energy use over the next few years. There is an increasing need for the group to find solutions that can address the needs of the properties that Ascott operates globally. The properties range from Serviced Residences, Rental Housing, Hotels, Senior Living Estates and Student Accommodations.

Objectives:

To find a solution that will help Ascott-operated properties reduce water and/or energy usage.

Working Model:

If possible, a charging model based on a revenue share where the vendor takes a cut out of the savings made from the utility bill. Allowing properties to implement easily without incurring large upfront CAPEX.
