The CityLoops project was a Horizon 2020 project which ran from 2019 to 2023. It focused on circular economy solutions for bio-waste and construction and demolition waste (CDW). The project produced various tools, including this handbook.

CityLoops (Closing the loop for urban material flows) was a Horizon 2020 project which focused on circular economy solutions for bio-waste and construction and demolition waste (CDW). Seven European cities implemented ten demonstration actions and tested over 30 new tools and processes, which are available together with replication packages and feedback from the cities which tested them.
The European Commission has launched a call for evidence on advanced materials, which will feed into the Advanced Materials Act. See what it's about and give your views!
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.
