Description
BIOCIRCULARCITIES aims to support the development of the regulatory framework and innovative roadmaps aligned with the principles of circular bioeconomy, focused on "bio-based waste" and based on the co-creation of knowledge thanks to participatory processes with multiple stakeholders.
The project has been designed to:
i) explore the potential of circular economy in some value chains of unused bio-waste according to the principles of bioeconomy in three European urban contexts around the cities of Barcelona (ES), Naples (IT) and Pazardzhik (BG);
ii) identify and analyze the best circular bioeconomy practices in the EU that could be used as a successful example for the pilot areas;
iii) detect opportunities and regulatory and commercial deficiencies for the introduction of biocircular practices in local and international markets;
iv) propose proactive instruments and roadmaps to support circular bioeconomy and expand it to the European framework.
