The PTF4LS facilitates collaboration between companies, technology centers and research, administration and financers in order to generate projects that allow the agri-food industry to be at the forefront of innovation applied to products and processes.
On the platform there are different working groups focused on the different areas of the food industry:

- HORECA sector (hotels, restaurants and cafés).
- Fruit and vegetable sector.
- Packaging.

The working group on Quality, Production and Sustainability acts on several lines of interest such as flexible and low-cost production, the integration of quality systems and food safety in industries 4.0, sustainable production and consumption, reducing chain loss food, reuse of agro-food effluent resources and wastewater treatment, and finally, sustainable production of biogas and biomethane from organic waste.
Alejandro Caballero, representing Bioazul as general coordinator of the project, was in charge of presenting Water2REturn to the members of this working group. During his speech, he highlighted the benefits of the circular economy of the project where several of those present showed their interest in the technologies dedicated to the treatment of water, sludge and algae.
