The company ''VIVACO groupe coopératif'' (Vivaco) was established in 2015 at Victoriaville (QC, Canada) following the fusion of La Coop des Appalaches and La Coop des Bois-Francs. Vivaco operates in five main sectors: renovation centers, convenience stores, agricultural and construction machinery, animal and vegetable production including milling and grain services and finally grocery. Among the activities of the enterprise, the production of organic food is a strategic sector. Furthermore, Vivaco is interested in the extraction of high value-added compounds from residual waste, such as cranberry leaves, under mild operating condition. It is reported that cranberry leaves contain polyphenols at high quantity. The operating conditions of extraction will be optimised, and the purification of polyphenols will be developed to obtain formulations which can be used in sectors such as animal feed, health care and beverages. And finally, in the frame of this project a techno-economic analysis will be performed to determine if the valorisation of cranberry leaves is feasible. The project focuses on the zero waste concept, by exploring the valorization of agri-food biomasses. In addition, this project will help to develop green chemistry and to valorize residual biomass which is commonly sent to compost or landfills.

“VIVACO group coopratif”（VIVACO）是由La Coop des Appalaches和La Coop des bois - swiss合并而成，于2015年在加拿大维多利亚维尔成立的。Vivaco主要经营五个领域：装修中心、便利店、农业和建筑机械、动植物生产（包括碾磨和谷物服务）以及食品杂货。在企业的活动中，有机食品的生产是一个战略性的部门。此外，Vivaco对在温和的操作条件下从残留废物（如蔓越莓叶）中提取高附加值化合物感兴趣。据报道，蔓越莓叶中含有大量的多酚。将优化提取的操作条件，并开发多酚的纯化，以获得可用于动物饲料、保健和饮料等部门的配方。最后，在这个项目的框架内，将进行技术经济分析，以确定蔓越莓叶子的增值是否可行。
