Role at BIOVIT
Professor Tizaoui contributes to BIOVIT’s circularity research programme at Swansea University. His expertise in resource recovery and the valorisation of natural products supports the Swansea BioHub initiative — developing methods for extracting natural vitamins and minerals from food processing byproducts.
This work, funded by the Welsh and UK Governments, represents a key pillar of BIOVIT’s long-term sustainability strategy, aiming to create circular supply chains for natural micronutrients.
