This piece of analysis sits within REFRESH Work Package 6 (WP6): Valorisation of waste streams and co-products. The final objective of this Work Package is to increase the exploitation of food and packaging waste by helping business stakeholders to identify in which conditions a valorisation option is (economically) feasible by providing clear guidance on cost-benefits of valorisation (WP6_Obj6). Assessing practical economic feasibility of new valorisation options often falls short through (1) leaders of novel valorisation pathways presenting incomplete costs models (thereby underestimating costs) and (2) insufficient awareness of economies of scale, often turning out disadvantageously for (small scale) innovative solutions. Through a case study this REFRESH WP6 deliverable presents a methodology for a well-underpinned assessment of practical economic feasibility.

Club GREY HORSE – Providing multiple ecosystems services by forest renters
This case study is drafting new legislation that allows renting forestland for multiple purposes in order to increase economic efficiency and maintain a balance between all ecosystem services. This Russian case works on regulation mechanisms so that people renting forestland can use it for multiple purposes, and to include ecosystem services in the Forest Code.
Spiritual forests and forest kindergartens
This factsheet explores how managing forests to be used as spiritual forests and forest kindergartens could benefit both the forest and the forest owner. The core impact of the case study is to raise awareness of the importance of cultural ecosystem services and to motivate forest actors to manage forests appropriately.
Forests for water in Catalonia
This innovation case is strengthening the link between forests and water with the overall aim of diversifying financing sources for forest management by integrating ecosystem service provision into the economic balance sheet. Work includes integration in the Urban Masterplan for the Rialb Reservoir where different local stakeholders (economic, tourism, water and others) are already working together. The aim is for written recognition in a legal document of the role of forestry in water and landscape conservation, and the recognition of forestry as a potentially relevant economic activity in the area that can be promoted along with tourism. The innovation action also works with the public Segre-Rialb Consortium to assess the suitability of a payment for ecosystem services scheme in relation to water in the area.
