Description

A catalogue of circular bioeconomy-related initiatives! 

The Bioregio project covered a range of initiatives, all of which are described in its website: from a waste management system in Jelšovce Distillery in Slovakia to biogas units for household applications in Romania and a Spanish project combining the fight against food waste and social inequality.

Each good practice is described together with an account of the resources needed to carry it out and the indicators of success. The idea is that each initiative can be replicated elsewhere, and each listing gives a way to contact the project manager for more details.

The EU's Bioregio project boosted the bio-based circular economy through the transfer of expertise on best available technologies and cooperation models. 

It aimed to:

  • improve knowledge related to circular economy of biological streams i.e. bio-based circular economy
  • increase recycling rates of biological materials e.g. food waste/biowaste, municipal and industrial sludge and agricultural residues   
  • transfer expertise about:

           - cooperation models, e.g. ecosystems, networks, administrative cooperation,

           - best available technologies, e.g. bio refinery, biogas production.

Main results

The Bioregio project encouraged bio-based initiatives and then made the results available to promote replication.
