The Center for Circular Economy in Coffee (C4CEC) is the first precompetitive platform for enhancing the circular economy in the coffee sector.
Coffee production generates substantial biomass at every stage. Instead of becoming waste, this biomass can be turned into valuable products using circular and regenerative agricultural practices. Every part of the coffee plant, from the cherry's skin to the spent grounds, contains unique compounds that are suitable for various industrial applications.
C4CEC aims to make know-how related to circularity in the coffee sector accessible to a diverse group of stakeholders. It will enhance the environmental, social, cultural and economic sustainability of the coffee value circle and offers customised member support for developing ideas.
This WCEF2025 accelerator session explored innovative mechanisms for enhancing and protecting natural ecosystems, in accordance with COP16 commitments and global sustainability goals.
The BIOTRANSFORM project (Circular BIOeconomy TRANSFORMation for regions by enabling resource and governance networks) is hosting its final event. Come and find out about the project’s key achievements, practical outcomes and future potential to support Europe’s transition to a circular bioeconomy!
Poly(L-Lactide) (PLA), a fully biobased aliphatic polyester, constitutes around 30% of global production of biobased and/or biodegradable plastics.
It has attracted significant attention in the last decade due to its exceptional properties, such as high tensile strength, biocompatibility, (bio)degradability in various media, easy recyclability and good melt-state processability by the conventional processes of the plastic/textile industry. PLA has a number of applications, such as packaging and controlled release matrices for fertilisers and pesticides.
This paper looks at how blending PLA with other polymers can improve its shortcomings.
The 1st International Congress on Algae Biotechnology will bring together a dynamic mix of researchers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs and policy makers to shape the future of algae innovation.
Organised by PROALGA and GreenCoLab, this event will explore groundbreaking advances and practical applications of algae in sustainability, health and industry. Come and find out about the latest research, discover disruptive technologies and network with pioneers shaping the algae ecosystem!
The European Bioeconomy Clusters’ Alliance is a new strategic initiative uniting 12 national and regional bioeconomy clusters across Europe. Its mission is to amplify the voice of the bioeconomy sector, drive policy advocacy for a circular and sustainable economy, and enhance cross-sector collaboration.
The launch event will bring together key representatives from the European Commission, industry leaders and bioeconomy sector stakeholders.
SUM 2025 aims to promote more continuous interaction and collaboration across fields, encouraging sustained, multidisciplinary dialogue and strategic partnerships.
This conference aims to provide an inspiring platform to explore cutting-edge microbial solutions addressing global challenges in health, industry, the environment and the transition to a circular economy.
