Summary: Funds projects to optimize biomass flows and bio-waste valorisation, advancing a sustainable and circular bioeconomy through improved resource efficiency and innovation.
This grant, funded under Horizon Europe, supports innovation actions aimed at improving the capacity of stakeholders to efficiently collect, process, and use both primary and secondary biomass. The focus is on enhancing environmental, social, and economic value from biomass—especially bio-waste—by reducing landfilling and incineration, and promoting valorisation. Projects should contribute to EU strategies and directives on bioeconomy, waste, and circular economy, and are expected to develop and optimize business models, support bioeconomy actors, identify barriers and best practices, and create innovative tools for bio-waste management. Special attention is given to underutilized regions and collaboration with relevant EU and local initiatives.
