SUMMARY:PERFECOAT Webinar "Safety and Sustainability of Novel Bio-Based Materials – Assessments and Used Methodology“
DESCRIPTION:Next episode of the PERFFECOAT webinar series\nIn the penultimate episode of the five-piece webinar series of the CBE JU funded research project PERFECOAT the experts will give insights about assessments and used methodology in regards to safety and sustainability of the developed bio-based compounds for sustainable paints and coatings. \nWhen developing novel bio-based solutions\, safety and sustainability of bio-based paint and coating products for users and environment mark a top priority. Within the last three years\, the partners involved in the EU-funded PERFECOAT project successfully generated and examined a broad variety bio-based paint and coating ingredients. These include a selection of binders made from\, e.g.\, modified alginates (SINTEF)\, xanthan (Technical University Munich)\, and xylan (Celignis) derived from different biomass resources like agricultural residues\, e.g.\, poplar wood\, beech wood\, wheat straw\, and late cut grass. Furthermore\, the team developed different formulations for red pigments and dyes as well as other colours (e.g.\, green and purple) produced from yeast and fungi. To allow for the modification of specific properties like self-healing surfaces and fire resistance\, fillers and functional nano materials were developed from microbial biomass. \nAll these ingredients were tested with regard to their performance\, requirements and properties in formulations of three specific use-cases: \n\nhigh-volume UV-curable clear coatings\,\nwaterborne trim paints for DIY\, and\nwaterborne wall paints.\n\nAll materials developed in PERFECOAT need to meet highest safety and sustainability standards for users and environment. The project will therefore quantitatively demonstrate the sustainability improvements achieved with bio-based solutions compared to conventional fossil-based paints and coatings. This was done by establishing a framework for safety assessment (chemical leaching and skin sensitisation testing)\, life cycle assessment (LCA)\, life cycle costing (LCC)\, and potential social impacts of the developed products and processes. The social study started with identifying potential social impacts and factors that can influence social acceptance (including socio-political acceptance\, market acceptance and community acceptance) through literature review and stakeholder interviews. The next steps include finalising the social impact assessment.\nThe webinar will provide an overview of applied frameworks\, methodologies\, and key highlights. \nLearn more about the assessments by registering for the fourth webinar “Safety and Sustainability – Assessments and Used Methodology”. \nWith international top experts: \n• Andy Booth (SINTEF Ocean)\n• Kamal Azrague (SINTEF)\n• Assiya Kenzhegaliyeva (SINTEF) \n“Safety and Sustainability – Assessments and Used Methodology”\n10 June 2024\n13.00-14.00h CET\nOnline and free of charge\nRegistration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xoIex-UQQ5iTWg73-R_wag \nSafe the date for the last webinar episode:\n26 August 2024 “The PERFECOAT project – achievements and obstacles” \nThe registration link will be shared shortly before the events.\nTo stay informed about future events\, subscribe to the PERFECOAT newsletter at https://perfecoat-project.eu \nThe PERFECOAT project receives funding from the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (JU) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101022370. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the Bio-based Industries Consortium.

SUMMARY:BioReCer- and 3-CO-Webinar: Digital Solutions for a Bio-Based Future – Empowering Industry and Consumers (Free Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:April 8\, 2025\, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM CET\, online\n \nDigital innovation can play a crucial role in strengthening the competitiveness of bio-based feedstocks and products in the European bioeconomy. By providing consumers and industry with essential information on sustainability and circularity criteria of bio-based products and their value chains\, digital solutions and tools improve the tracking and traceability of biological feedstocks from their origin to a final product. These digital tools offer valuable insights into a wide range of sustainability criteria\, e.g.\, climate impacts\, environmental effects on soil\, water and air quality and technical performance. By covering these key areas\, digital tools enable a holistic understanding of the sustainability performance of bio-based products and processes throughout their lifecycle. \nDigital solutions are also instrumental in the realm of Labels and Certification Schemes (LCS) for bio-based products. These digital tools provide essential information on trustworthy eco-labels and clarify requirements for concise certifications of bio-based value chains. This capability is particularly valuable in promoting transparency and boosting consumer confidence in bio-based products. By offering clear insights into eco-label standards and certification processes\, these digital tools empower both consumers and industry stakeholders to make informed decisions\, ultimately fostering greater trust in the bio-based sector. \nBuilding upon these capabilities\, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies offer a unique advantage in this context. These tools are designed to continuously learn from user and developer input\, enabling them to analyse and pass on current and real-time data on raw material flows\, value chain information\, and the sustainability of bio-based products. \nDigital solutions are set to boost the European bioeconomy by providing critical information on feedstock tracking\, sustainability\, and certification for bio-based products.\nTo showcase these advances\, a free webinar hosted by Horizon Europe projects 3-CO and BioReCer will introduce several innovative digital tools.\nScheduled for April 8\, 2025\, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM CET\, the event offers an excellent opportunity to understand the future of digital technologies in the bioeconomy. Four tools developed by EU-funded projects will be presented and made available to users in the near future. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lP06EuYaQ0arvrof5ZnEAw \n\nFurther information: \n3-CO (https://3co-project.eu)\nLoha Hashimi and Armand Carreras from ENIDE will present the consumer-based digital solutions developed within the project 3-CO that provides information on eco-labels and certification of bio-based products from different categories in order to support sustainable consumption. \nBiobasedCert Cluster (https://sustcert4biobased.eu/about-us/biobasedcert-group)\nThe BiobasedCert Cluster consists of the three EU-funded projects Star4bbs (https://star4bbs.eu/)\, HARMONITOR (https://www.harmonitor.eu/) and Sustcert4Biobased (https://sustcert4biobased.eu/).

SUMMARY:3-CO-Webinar "Creating Impact: Social Innovation in the EU-BioEconomy  – What policymakers can do"
DESCRIPTION:10 July 2025\, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM CET\, online\n \nThis upcoming webinar by the EU funded 3-CO project will showcase good practice examples of social innovation from all across Europe and beyond to inspire sustainable change and present policy recommendations on how to support and scale such initiatives. .\nSocial innovation is increasingly recognised as a vital force for addressing most pressing societal challenges of modern societies\, ranging from climate change and resource scarcity to social exclusion and health issues. At their core\, social innovations introduce new ideas to solve problems\, be it products\, services\, or models. These can meet social needs more effectively than existing solutions. These innovations are social in their ends or means\, and they thrive through collaboration\, whether in social enterprises\, corporate projects\, non-profits\, public sector programs\, or grassroots community initiatives. \nSocial Innovation for Sustainable Change\nThe European Research Project 3-CO (Concise Consumer Communication through Robust Labels for Biobased Systems) is committed to supporting consumers and stakeholders in making more sustainable and environmentally responsible choices. Beyond its efforts to improve consumer communication and labelling\, 3-CO actively aims to implement and promote social innovation practices that empower citizens\, businesses\, and actors in the public sector to adopt responsible behaviours. \nOn July 10th 2025\, from 13:00 to 14:30 CEST\, 3-CO will host a dedicated webinar on social innovation. This event will present a new brochure of 17 social innovation case studies that brings together a wide variety of good practice examples from across Europe and beyond. The brochure is designed to inform\, inspire\, and guide policymakers\, civil society organisations\, private businesses\, and citizens\, demonstrating that everyone has a role to play in adopting and supporting social innovations. The project further developed and recently published a policy paper that aims to foster social innovation. The included recommendations for policy makers will be presented in the webinar.\nTwo social innovations holders will discuss challenges of setting and scaling up their initiatives and evaluate the generated societal and environmental change. \n17 Case studies\nThe brochure features 17 real-world examples such as a “library of things” that encourages borrowing instead of buying\, reduces waste and strengthens community bonds. Other cases include a clothing swap platform\, community gardens\, digital food sharing solutions\, or a recycling support app. Each case illustrates how innovative approaches can simultaneously meet social needs\, foster new relationships\, and promote sustainable consumption patterns.\nThe brochure\, and the upcoming webinar\, aim to show how social innovations can be replicated and adapted in other countries and contexts\, offering policy recommendations and governance models to help establish these solutions.\nParticipants of the webinar will gain insight into how social innovation can be a catalyst for sustainability\, discover inspiring examples\, and learn about policy measures that can support similar initiatives in their own communities or organisations. This is an opportunity to engage with leading thinkers and practitioners\, and become part of a movement that is shaping a more responsible and sustainable future for the whole society. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_P8qUxMnkQRm9mn9ZdcPuFg \n\nFurther information: \n3-CO (https://3co-project.eu)

SUMMARY:The 3-CO Final Event: Empowering Bio-Based Choices Through Smart Certification
DESCRIPTION:21 October 2025\, from 9:00 to 13:30 CET\, online\n \nMany of the products consumers purchase display eco-labels and are wrapped in promises of sustainability\, bio-based content\, or fair and ethical production conditions. The messages and criteria behind these labels and certification schemes often remain unclear. To simplify and decode these messages\, the EU-funded research project 3-CO (Concise Consumer Communication through Robust Labels for Biobased Systems) focuses on improving how certification schemes and eco-labels communicate with consumers. By developing smart label design guidelines\, digital support tools\, and implementing social innovation strategies\, the project addressed the challenges of transparency\, trust\, and consumer engagement\, especially with regard to bio-based products.

SUMMARY:BioReCer Final Event: Trust\, Traceability\, and Certification – Valorising Biological Feedstocks
DESCRIPTION:29 October\, 2025\, from 9:00 – 15:00 CEST\, only on site in Santiago de Compostela\n \nCiudad de la Cultura\, Santiago de Compostela\, Spain \nOn 29 October 2025\, the BioReCer project invites stakeholder from the bio-based industries\, research\, certification and standardisation\, and (consumer) organisations to its final event at the Ciudad de la Cultura in Santiago de Compostela\, Spain. Scheduled from 9:00 to 14:45 CET\, this occasion marks the conclusion of the EU‑funded project\, which over three years has worked intensely to improve the trust\, traceability\, and certification of biological feedstocks.\nThe BioReCer (Biological Resources Certifications Schemes) project has developed a framework for assessing the sustainability and circularity of biological resources\, identified indicators of circularity\, as well as guidelines for integrating these into established certification schemes. In addition\, a Standardisation Toolkit was developed\, which is a comprehensive online database designed to support professionals in the bio-based industry\, as well as recommendations for the valorisation and use of biological feedstock propose integration of BioReCer findings into policy. \nRegister here: https://novainstitute.aidaform.com/BioReCerFinalEvent \nOne key-outcome is the BioReCer ICT Tool (BIT). This digital app provides tracking and traceability information of bio-based solutions and feedstocks along the entire bio‑based value chain. By providing product information and assessing circularity indicators the BIT aims to improve decision-making through real-time data and actionable insights\, but also to enhance sustainability through assessment and improved environmental performance. The tool further offers a self‑assessment function that enables companies to evaluate their own enterprise with regard to sustainability and circularity criteria\, enabling evaluation on whether a company is fit for certification and what levers exist to achieve a higher certification. \nThe BioReCer project has validated its approach in four case studies on biological waste and residues\, including agriculture (Greece)\, fishery (Spain)\, municipal organic waste and wastewater (Italy) and forestry (Sweden)\, assessing material flows\, and replicability and transferability across these sectors.\nIn various presentations BioReCer partners will showcase key results\, explain the sustainability and circularity framework (University of Santiago de Compostela)\, discuss circularity indicators (Imperial College London)\, and explain how this framework can be integrated into certification schemes (Meo Carbon Solutions). A live demonstration of the BioReCer ICT Tool (EGM) will showcase its functions supporting product traceability\, self‑assessment\, and certification data management.\nA second block of the event will feature two moderated round tables. The first expert round will focus on sustainability and circularity assessments in the bio‑based industry\, drawing on lessons from BioReCer’s case studies and contributions from related projects. The second roundtable will address the future valorisation of biological feedstocks with insights from several other EU-projects.\nAn exposition corner will provide space to discover BioReCer and its related EU-projects\, explore project results\, and materials\, and to speak directly with the members of the different projects. \nThis final event is open to stakeholders from industry\, research\, certification\, policy makers and (consumer) organisations who want to gain first‑hand understanding of BioReCer’s tools and methods\, and their relevance for creating transparent\, impactful certification for biological feedstocks. Find the Preliminary agenda here. \nRegister here: https://novainstitute.aidaform.com/BioReCerFinalEvent \n\nFurther information: \nBioReCer (https://biorecer.eu)\nBioReCer will develop the BioReCer ICT tool (BIT)\, an automated assessment tool that collects and transmits real-time data on the environmental performance of bio-based value chains promoting environmentally conscious decisions and sustainable practices in the bioeconomy.

SUMMARY:FREE nova Session: Latest nova Market and Trend Reports on Advanced Recycling\, Mass Balance and Attribution (MBA)\, Bio-based Polymers and Alternative Naphtha
DESCRIPTION:nova Session: Latest nova Market and Trend Reports on Alternative Naphtha\, Advanced Recycling\, Bio-based Polymers and Bioeconomy in China \nHosts: Michael Carus\, Lars Krause\, Pia Skoczinski\, Gillian Tweddle (all nova-institute) \n8 December from 14:00 to 15:30h CET (online) – free of charge \nIn this upcoming nova Session\, a free webinar\, the latest insights from four key reports that are shaping the future of renewable carbon economy\, will be presented. The focus will be on the defossilisation of the chemical industry and fossil-free plastics. \nIn this session\, nova’s best experts will explore ground-breaking developments in advanced plastic waste recycling\, mass balance and attribution (MBA)\, bio-based building blocks and polymers and alternative naphtha. Each report examines emerging trends\, global capacity and market dynamics that are driving the transition to a defossilised\, net-zero chemical industry. \nJoin us for an engaging discussion with the authors and industry experts for a comprehensive look at the challenges and opportunities in these rapidly evolving sectors. \nThese four reports will be presented\, offering in-depth analyses on alternative naphtha\, bio-based building blocks and polymers\, advanced recycling\, and mass balance and attribution (MBA): \nNEW: Mapping of Global Advanced Plastic Recycling Capacities \nThe development of advanced recycling technologies is very dynamic and at a fast pace\, with new players constantly appearing on the market\, from start-ups to chemistry giants and everything in between. New plants are being built\, and new capacities are being achieved. Due to these dynamic developments\, it is difficult to keep track of everything. The nova report “Mapping of global advanced plastic recycling capacities” aims to clear up this jungle of information. A comprehensive evaluation of the global input and output capacities was carried out for which 390 planned as well as installed and operating plants including their specific product yields were mapped to provide an overview about global advanced recycling capacities in the past\, present\, and future. \nNEW: Mainstreaming Mass Balance and Attribution (MBA) \nThe acceptance and accessibility of mass balanced attributed (MBA) chemicals\, building blocks and polymers is a major issue for the chemical and plastics sectors\, as well as for brand owners. MBA products could provide more options\, better availability and reduced costs for the defossilisation compared to dedicated bio-based solutions.\nHowever\, both the MBA concept and the political regulations are crucial for scaling up\, but difficult to understand. Furthermore\, discussions about potentially misleading communication on the concept are confusing stakeholders. In addition\, no production volumes are available. \nBio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities\, Production and Trends 2024–2029 \n2024 was a respectable year for bio-based polymers\, with an overall expected CAGR of 13 % to 2029. Overall\, bio-based biodegradable polymers have large installed capacities with an expected CAGR of 17 % to 2029\, but the current average capacity utilisation is moderate at 65 %. In contrast\, bio-based non-biodegradable polymers have a much higher utilisation rate of 90 %\, but will only grow by 10 % to 2029. \nEpoxy resin and PUR production is growing moderately at 9 and 8 %\, respectively\, while PP and cyclic APC capacities are increasing by 30 %. Despite a decline in production of biodegradables\, especially for PLA in Asia\, capacities have increased by 40 %. The same applies to PHA capacities. Commercial newcomers such as casein polymers and PEF recorded a rise in production capacity and are expected to continue to grow significantly until 2029. \nAlternative Naphtha – Technologies and Market\, Status and Outlook \nThis report examines how the chemical industry can move away from fossil-based naphtha. It looks at the pathways to naphtha from different renewable carbon sources – CO₂\, biomass and recycling – and how these alternatives can be integrated into existing refinery and steam cracker operations. The presentation will cover technologies\, market dynamics\, industry players and projected capacities that are essential to enable this transition to renewable carbon\, which is a critical step towards a defossilised chemical industry. \nEach report will be presented by the lead author for approximately 15 minutes\, with key findings\, followed by a discussion. \nJoin us for an engaging discussion with the authors and industry experts for a comprehensive look at the challenges and opportunities in these rapidly evolving sectors. \nProgram\n\n14:00–14:05 Michael Carus\, nova-Institute: Welcome\, introduction and moderation\n14:05-14:25 Lars Krause\, nova-Institute: Mapping of Global Advanced Plastic Recycling Capacities\, presentation and discussion\n14:25-14:45 Michael Carus\, nova-Institute: Mainstreaming Mass Balance and Attribution (MBA)\n14:45–15:05 Pia Skoczinski\, nova-Institute: Bio-based Building Blocks and Polymers – Global Capacities\, Production and Trends 2024–2029\, presentation and discussion\n15:05-15:25 Gillian Tweddle\, nova-Institute: Alternative Naphtha – Technologies and Market\, Status and Outlook\, presentation and discussion\n15:25–15:30 Michael Carus\, nova-Institute: Wrap-up and final discussion\n\n  \n  \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wmDIB2vwSYKgLl14hgdIog
