Impact
Scientific & Technological
Development of circular business models to better valorise all streams and to reduce the generation of waste, adapted both to a macrolevel context and to the technologies / processes / feedstocks available at micro-level.
Environmental
The transformation of linear value-chains into circular bio-based value-chains will lead to an overall environmental impact reduction.
Socio-economic
Increase in the products portfolio of primary production by valorising waste and by-products, that will allow primary producers to diversify their income while reducing risk, and to the creation of new jobs and economic opportunities in depressed rural areas.
Local impacts:
✓ 405 t per year of safflower, cardoon and sunflower processed to generate high added value bioproducts.
✓ Recovery of more than 55 ha of marginal and abandoned lands through regenerative agricultural practices.
✓ Valorisation of 10 kt per year of potato for the generation of high added value applications.
✓ Reducing 90% the COD in water in the Spanish pilot compared with benchmark.
✓ Valorisation of 1,000 kg rapeseed biomass per year to produce high protein edible oil.
✓ 40% CO2 emissions avoidance in the process compared with using soybeans as raw material in the Danish pilot.
✓ Development of 42 multi-contractual agreements between primary producers and the industrial actors.
✓ 10 new bio-based materials validated.
✓ Creation of more than 30 new jobs in rural areas.
✓ Development of 6 campaigns and training actions in rural areas.
✓ Engagement of more than 100 farmers and primary producers at the end of the project.
Policy Bulletin Europe – how bioeconomy should move alongside policies and standards.will be published every 6 months to support bioeconomy business models and matchmaking for funding.
