#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)

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'.

[PERCAL Project @PERCAL_Project]

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.

Are #sustainability and prosperity complete opposites? Not according to @EndOvershoot creator @MaWackernagel and @THEnergyNet, who argue that we all can thrive with one-planet prosperity. Watch now and #MoveTheDate. https://t.co/NlPOkZnXVH #LifeisOn

Another highly interesting project from @BBI2020!

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.

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

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
