The ECESP website has a good selection of circular bioeconomy-themed content. We'll be shining a spotlight on some of it here!
This item looks at a technology which converts agricultural and food industry by-products into fertilisers, green energy and water purification materials.
This report addresses the question of whether Flanders, with its limited space, will be able to produce enough biomass in the future to supply the bioeconomy and continue to feed the increasing population.
Four scenarios were used, providing insight into the demand development for biobased raw materials for feed, food, fuel and fibre.
It found that:
An open economy, with international imports/exports of bio-based raw materials, is crucial for a small, densely populated and prosperous region like Flanders.
Long-term collaboration with other regions and countries is a strategic necessity. The energy transition, protein shift and circular transition must be streamlined to run synergistically. This can reduce the pressure on raw bio-materials.
If you've ever been to Spain, for instance, you'll know that the Mediterranean has a lot of olive trees. That makes for a lot of waste. This project aims to use that waste to make animal feed, additives, packaging and biogas.
This webinar will introduce the concept of circular sanitation and will show the benefits of closing nitrogen and phosphorus loops. Using examples from all over Europe, it will present policies and actions that local and regional authorities can implement to make circular sanitation a reality.
This online session is a side event of the European Week of Regions and Cities.
The Horizon Europe project DECISO (DEvelopers of CIrcular SOlutions) aims to support European cities and regions as they develop financing schemes for circular economy initiatives. The project's final event will showcase how European cities and regions overcome financing barriers impeding circular economy initiatives.
BIOS MATER is a Horizon Europe project that aims to transform the construction sector by introducing advanced bio-based materials, applying circular economy principles and implementing Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design solutions.
