#placongress for @PERCAL_Project, @aimplas talks about the use of organic fraction of municipal solid waste as feedstock to produce lactic acid, succinic acid and ethanol. Byproducts are also rich in lipids (can be used for surfactant production)
While industry is under pressure to reduce CO2 emissions and make processes more sustainable, Europe has the chance to become a world leader in one of the important solutions: conversion of CO2 into useful products using renewable energy #SustainableDevelopment#CCUS

‘The vital support offered to #SMEs by @BBI2020 is a significant success. Via our projects, these innovators and out-of-the-box thinkers in the #bioeconomy 🌱 can access the market and scale their technologies ⚙.’
@BIOVOICES interviews @PhilippeMengal
Watch now (part 1) 👇
Our Project Officer Ana Cuadrado Galván discussed yesterday the role of the #bioeconomy 🌱 in the #greenrecovery 💚 of #Europe 🇪🇺 during @BE_Rural's conference 'Exploring the bioeconomy as a central pillar of regional recovery plans during and after COVID-19'.
Did you know: In the EU over 100 million tonnes of municipal biowaste is produced each year, with 75% landfilled or incinerated.
Biowaste produces GHGs when it decomposes and contaminates soil and groundwater.
See how we aim to change this: https://t.co/FQgbJPJjzp
By planting Andean lupin, our #LIBBIO project is:
🌿 enriching poor soils with nitrogen & phosphate
🐝 attracting pollinating insects through their flowers and scent
✅Moreover, they develop #biobased 🌱 cosmetics and food products.

🆕 All the best to the new 🌟 @BBI2020#BeonNAT project!
16 beneficiaries from 6 countries 🇪🇺 will use underexploited woody species to obtain wood paper, essential oils, absorbents & bioplastics 🌱.
Our Project Officer @Pilar_Llorente joined the first meeting. Good luck 🍀!
Very interesting report that identifies the #circularbioeconomy as a key opportunity 💡🌎♻️🇮🇪 @homebirdnow @Marcpalahi note 📝 the reference to the Circular Bioeconomy 10-point action plan
The circular economy should be something to read about
The 3 principles of it:
♻️ design out waste and pollution
🧤 keep products and materials in use
🌱 regenerate natural systems
The EU Sustainable Energy Week #EUSEW2020 starts today! This is a great way to catch up on how the EU is approaching the current circumstances and using #research as a key part of its #Recovery

An interesting article (and link to a new publication) from @JuliaStegemann and @StijnvanEwijk on why we'll still need waste in a circular economy and how we should be thinking about it now https://t.co/M5Y7Y6Qlp8 via @ConversationUK@UCLEngineering@Yale#waste
Check out a fellow @BBI2020 project! Like us, also utilising what would be #waste to make something valuable. Each project is another step closer to the #circulareconomy!
Climate worst-case scenarios are insufficient. “The more we learn, the more fragile the Earth system seems to be & the faster we need to move." We must "step out of this Covid-19 crisis & move full speed towards decarbonising the economy.” #Sustainability https://t.co/UJNLRrpMMR
