BIOREGIO – Regional circular economy models and best available technologies for biological streams
BIOREGIO boosts bio-based circular economy through transfer of expertise about best available technologies and cooperation models.
AIMS
- improving knowledge related to circular economy of biological streams i.e. bio-based circular economy
- increasing recycling rates of biological materials e.g. food waste/biowaste, municipal and industrial sludge and agricultural residues
- transferring expertise about: a) cooperation models, e.g. ecosystems, networks, administrative cooperation,
b) best available technologies, e.g. bio refinery, biogas production
ACTIVITIES
- joint development of policy instruments
- defining best practices of bio-based circular economy: cooperation models and best available technologies
- describing regional biological streams
ACTIONS
- regional stakeholder group meetings
- interregional events: roundtable discussions, seminars and site visits
- policy briefs, expert papers
- regional dissemination events
RESULTS
- six policy instruments will be improved: funding of new projects, improving the management of the instruments, influencing the strategic focus of the instruments
- regions will be better equipped to implement new technologies and cooperation models in order to move towards bio-based circular economy
- increasing professional capacity among stakeholders
- raising public awareness of bio-based circular economy
