Four calls for proposals are currently open to provide funding for projects implementing the Green Deal at local and regional level. Please note that these calls are open to all legal entities that are eligible to apply for funding under the Horizon Europe programme.
This report from the HOOP Project describes the methodological approach for identifying circular business models for bio-waste.
It presents an analysis of the business models behind 15 successful solutions for bio-waste valorisation and proposes a template business canvas for bio-waste valorisation. The report also presents a new integrated circular business model typology focused on bio-waste, along with drivers and barriers related to the implementation of circular business models in bio-waste valorisation.
Each of the eight HOOP Lighthouse Cities and Regions has set up its own local or regional Biowaste Club and carried out its first stakeholder engagement activities through Biowaste Club meetings. While some of these draw on existing local initiatives, others bring stakeholders together for the first time. In some Lighthouses, Biowaste Clubs are accompanied by citizen science activities.
This report documents the stakeholder engagement activities that have taken place so far and what can be expected next.
A Biowaste Club is an institutionalised platform for multi-stakeholder engagement whose members are all local and regional actors along the biowaste value chain, such as waste management companies, research institutions, public authorities, etc.
Biowaste Club meetings take place twice a year, set-up and formats can vary, depending on the local needs and, consequently, on their agenda.
HOOP's Investment Package Manual was developed using a three-step approach and the public version has been distributed in three volumes.
Volume III presents a selection and inventory of funding and financing schemes, programmes, instruments and tools for investment projects on circular bioeconomy and bioenergy at national and regional levels. It provides case studies from eight European countries: Finland, Greece, Germany, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain and The Netherlands.

Volume I describes the EU Taxonomy concepts as applied to economic activities linked to circular bioeconomy technologies, processes, activities and bioproducts from biowaste and wastewater sludge feedstocks.
The D-CARBONIZE project is kicking off by recruiting 12 doctoral candidates for training on using biomass to produce bioplastics. The candidates will learn how to use circular chemistry to develop monomers from biochar sources for use in the production of recyclable bioplastics.
Coordinated by the ICIQ, the D-CARBONIZE Project is part of Horizon Europe's Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions and is a consortium of 12 partners.
