Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU)

#GoForBiobased: join the movement for a better tomorrow! ✅ From everyday items to industrial solutions, bio-based products are sustainable, affordable, and renewable. They outperform fossil-based counterparts, offering innovative and #circular solutions while helping reduce emissions and fight climate change. 💡 It's time to say goodbye to fossil-based products and embrace #biobased alternatives. Whether it's packaging, textiles, or personal care, bio-based brings #efficiency and #innovation to your everyday life. 🛒 Made from locally sourced waste and leftovers, bio-based solutions close the resource loop and support a circular economy. They're available in your local shops and supermarkets, making it easier than ever to make greener choices. Go for bio-based! ℹ️ Discover more about the bio-based solutions: https://lnkd.in/dt-Ykva3

📢 Calling bio-based companies: participate in CBE JU-funded BIORADAR Project circularity assessment #Biobased industries play a key role in the shift to a circular economy. BIORADAR invites companies producing bio-based #fertilisers, #textiles, or #packaging materials to participate in a free circularity assessment of their products. Benefits of participation include: 🟢 Complimentary assessment of your products’ circularity 🌳 Access to insights to improve design and reduce environmental impact ✔ Demonstrate #sustainability leadership in the bio-based sector What do the circularity indicators assess?
 The indicators evaluate product lifecycle, recyclability, and biodegradability, providing practical insights for enhancing circularity. Discover more 👉 https://lnkd.in/d5DK9RgW

Discover how the CBE JU-funded #PEFerence project is revolutionising the world of #sustainable materials. This video dives deep into the groundbreaking #PEF technology, a game-changer for the packaging industry and beyond ♻️ Learn about: 💡 The incredible journey from sugar to sustainable plastic. ✅ How PEF outperforms traditional PET with 10 times better shelf life and superior barrier properties. 🌍 The importance of shifting towards greener materials for a healthier planet. 📽️ Watch Avantium's video.

Nature-based solutions tackle plastic waste problems in agriculture. The CBE JU-funded Recover BBI project has pioneered #biological methods to reduce plastic waste in agriculture and food packaging. By harnessing insects, earthworms, and microorganisms, RECOVER transforms hard-to-recycle plastics into valuable, eco-friendly products. Main project highlights include: ♻️ Turning plastic waste into compost, #biodegradable packaging, and plant pots.
 🐛 Using earthworms to process plastic-contaminated organic waste into high-quality compost. 📊 Creating antimicrobial food packaging and tools to track soil microplastics. Learn more about these #CBEachievements 👇 https://lnkd.in/dmqz-eav

Today, the newly launched Terrificproject is in the spotlight at ECOMONDO - ITALIAN EXHIBITION GROUP. The project has received CBE JU financial support to develop #biobased #materials for recyclable, compostable and high performing #packaging. ‘TERRIFIC’s highly innovative first-of-its-kind biorefinery will help decarbonise and make circular the packaging sector. We are proud to welcome the project’s team in the strong community of 25 CBE JU-funded projects working on bio-based packaging solutions from heterogeneous waste, CO2, microalgae, and second generation sugars, among other resources,’ said Luisa Mascia at the event dedicated to the launch of the project.

This week, CBE JU is attending ECOMONDO - ITALIAN EXHIBITION GROUP, a wealth of knowledge, experience and innovative ideas in #circular #bioeconomy. Virginia Puzzolo showed how the CBE JU has been contributing to building a strong #biobased sector in the Mediterranean region and southern Europe  in the session ‘Multi-actor implementation of bioeconomy in the Mediterranean basin and beyond’ organised by SPRING - Italian Circular Bioeconomy Cluster and the Ecomondo’s Technical and Scientific Committee. ‘Manufactured bio-based fibres address an increasing market demand and have a high industrial application potential across different fields; however, the textile sector still needs to overcome several sustainability and competitiveness challenges,’ Simone Maccaferri concluded the discussion of the ‘Textile. Sustainable production & ecodesign: challenges and opportunities’ session organised by the Ecomondo’s Technical and Scientific Committee and AISEC - Economia Circolare. Throughout the event, we are showcasing #biobased solutions developed by the CBE JU-funded SWEETWOODS, VIOBOND, project EFFECTIVE, SCALE project and Deep Purple EU projects. If you are at #Ecomondo2024, take this opportunity to exchange with project representatives Katrin Jõgi Liisa Rohila Johan DE CONINCK Kristaps Stankus Mattia Comotto, as well as Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) representatives Sophia De Smet and Samuele Ambrosetti in Hall D3, booth 105!
