Detail description
This report presents findings from 43 national workshops across 14 countries, advancing the transition to circular bio-based value chains. It highlights innovations in repurposing agricultural, forestry, and industrial residues into bioenergy, bioplastics, and bio-based fertilizers. Key developments include regional hubs for organic residue processing, sustainable aquaculture solutions like seawater cubes and recycled mussel pegs, and biomaterials such as fermentation-based products and lignin-derived adhesives. The report emphasizes the need for sustained research and regional collaboration to improve processing efficiency and infrastructure. Funded by the European Union and published by the BioRural Consortium in 2025.
