Separate collection and treatment of urban biowaste is now an obligation across the EU.

In this webinar series, experts from the HOOP project share learnings and good practices to help make urban circular bioeconomy projects a reality. This webinar titled Collection and valorisation of urban biowaste on 7 May 2024 (10:00 – 11:00 CEST) will present the state-of-the-art of technologies for the production of bio-products from biowaste and wastewater.

A municipal representative will share their experience of implementing a novel technology in their territory.

Speakers

• Elisa Gambuzzi, CETENMA: State-of-the-art of valorisation possibilities for biowaste streams
• Christoph Baumann, AWM Münster: From Waste to Resource: Exploring the Transformation of Organic Residues into Biochar through Pyrolysis

The EU Bioeconomy Strategy sees cities becoming major circular bioeconomy hubs, where biowaste is a feedstock for safe and sustainable bio-based products. But until now very few cities and regions have developed circular bio-based economy strategies or projects for the production of innovative bio-based products.

The HOOP project aims to drive innovation in the sector by assisting 8 cities and regions, so-called Lighthouses, in the implementation of novel circular processes. By helping the Lighthouses address legal, financial, and technical barriers, HOOP will unlock significant investments in state-of-the-art biowaste and wastewater valorisation technologies.
