The Urban Circular Bioeconomy Hub is operated by the HOOP project. It provides resources and tools to improve the exploitation of biowaste and wastewater by cities and regions.
Users can:
network with municipalities and waste/wastewater management companies around Europe.
evaluate their circular performance and the financial attractiveness and maturity level of your circular projects.
make use of resources related to the implementation of urban circular bioeconomy solutions, including handbooks, manuals, factsheets and videos on technologies and financial engineering for circular bioeconomy projects.
get technical support from project developers and investors and mobilise green financing.
register for the forum and put questions to the circular bioeconomy community.
The World Summit on Renewable Energy & Green Chemistry aims to accelerate the adoption of solutions that promote environmental stewardship, energy efficiency and a circular economy.
The plastics sector is looking for sustainable solutions - and compostable bioplastics are definitely a good option. AIMPLAS's new methodology subjects materials to simulated industrial composting conditions, so companies can see quickly which of the materials they are working on are feasible.
