Most bio-based materials are still produced, used and discarded within largely linear systems. A circular economy approach offers a different path: one that supports regenerative sourcing, keeps materials in use for longer, gives value to by-products and residues, and enables business models that generate value without relying on the continuous extraction of virgin resources.
This EU Circular Talk will build on the findings of the new report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Panellists will discuss the key principles and recommendations for embedding circularity in the production and use of bio-based materials, and explore how these insights can inform the implementation of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy.
Rice Tab is a technical board developed from rice husks, an agricultural byproduct widely available in Europe.
Designed for applications in architecture, interior design and furniture, it transforms what was once considered waste into a high-performance material with a new functional life in the built environment.
Improving the nutritional and environmental profile of food products is a dynamic and complex task.
This guide brings together how others approach these reformulation decisions in practice. It provides practical guidance, real-world examples and up-to-date solutions to help you navigate the reformulation process.
It covers upcycling ingredients and regenerative agriculture.
ClimateEnergy2026 is a global stage for ideas, technologies and policies shaping the future of our planet.
It will bring together scientists, innovators, policymakers, entrepreneurs and activists to address the world’s most urgent climate challenges and accelerate the transition toward a net-zero, resilient and equitable world.
This is the fourth and last in a series of webinars in which SYMBIOREM project partners will present the solutions and strategies developed to remediate and restore contaminated soil and water, as well as to enhance bioremediation efficiency, use secondary inputs and valorise residues and contaminants.
It will offer practical insights into SYMBIOREM’s technology testing results, early circular product concepts and ongoing business‑model development.
This is the third in a series of webinars in which SYMBIOREM project partners will present the solutions and strategies developed to remediate and restore contaminated soil and water, as well as to enhance bioremediation efficiency, use secondary inputs and valorise residues and contaminants.
It will provide an overview of how SYMBIOREM evaluates environmental risks, economic benefits and social impacts across different remediation solutions.
PRIMED is a European project that aims to redesign the primary sector to maximise bioeconomy development through the creation, validation and scaling of circular and regenerative bio-based value chains.
It has already mapped the main biomass feedstocks and conversion technologies across its five labs and the bio-based value chains developed there.
This workshop will look at how laboratory-trained bacteria can help restore polluted soils and waters, and how policy and regulatory frameworks can support circular outcomes while safeguarding public health and the environment.
The webinar will explore how advanced materials and circular design approaches are shaping the future of high-performance composite applications, with a focus on wind energy.
The Circular Intelligence (Intelligenza Circolare) event will be an international dialogue on two transformative levers of the circular economy: ecodesign and the potential of AI to enhance design, data management and the social and environmental impact of circular models.
