It aims to adapt, implement and evaluate tools to help regional actors overcome bottlenecks towards fully exploiting circular bioeconomy potential. In this way, it will promote regional, rural, local/urban and consumer-based transitions towards a sustainable, regenerative, inclusive and just circular economy and bioeconomy across all regions of Europe.
