Abstract
Circular economy aims to create a system that allows an optimal reuse of products and materials. In this context, the contribution provided by the valorization of residual biomass is fundamental for the production of renewable biological resources and their conversion into new added-value products. Indeed, according to an appropriate planning hierarchy, agricultural and agro-food co-products, by-products and wastes should be primarily employed to re-balance soil fertility, then valorized as new secondary raw materials used in the same agricultural sector or in different industrial chains (e.g., cosmetics, nutraceuticals, etc.). Only at the end of this process, they could be finally conveyed to energy production through co-generation. In this paper, the different residues generated by the wine production chain have been considered with reference to the Basilicata region (Southern Italy). These biomasses have been quantitatively evaluated and qualitatively classified, in order to find the most rational and convenient solution for their valorization from a technical, economic and environmental point of view. From the spatial analysis elaborated by implementing a Geographic Information System, some thematic maps have been obtained. These maps have allowed to highlight the areas with the highest concentration of residues. In this way, possible strategies for their management and valorization may be formulated, even with the support of an Internet of Things network system, aimed to allow a constant monitoring of their life cycle.
