SUMMARY:WaterProof Webinar: Industrial-Urban Symbiosis – Industrial-Urban Symbiosis: Business\, Funding\, and Practical Insights
DESCRIPTION:24 March 2026\, 13:00-14:30 CET\, online \n\nTurning Underutilised Resources into Economic & Environmental Value \nIndustrial-Urban Symbiosis (I-US) enables new business opportunities though the collaboration of diverse stakeholders across various sectors. Hereby\, this innovative approach facilitates the exchange of underutilised resources\, e.g. by-products\, residues\, energy\, water\, capacities\, and expertise\, keeping materials productive longer. By repurposing outputs as inputs\, I-US can minimise resource extraction\, cut costs\, and advance objectives of the EU Circular Economy Action Plan. \nKey criteria of this value creation are aligned stakeholder interest and the exchange of perspectives. Businesses benefit from reduced raw material costs\, supply chain resilience\, lower disposal expenses\, and new revenue opportunities. Meanwhile local authorities and regions can profit from healthier ecosystems\, economic vitality\, and new job opportunities. These complementary goals drive economic resilience and systemic change towards sustained resource loops\, higher recycling rates and enhanced regional sustainability. \nTo turn theory into practice\, the EU-funded WaterProof project hosts the webinar “Industrial-Urban Symbiosis: Business\, Funding\, and Practical Insights”. Join on 24 March 2026 from 13:00 to 14:30 CET for targeted strategies and practical insights that will equip industry professionals and practitioners with proven I-US skills. \nRegister here! \n\nThe webinar will feature presentations from leading experts:\n\nAlena Jahns/Mara Wagner (IZES): Introduction to the WaterProof project and Industrial Urban Symbiosis.\nJames Woodcock (International Synergies Limited & H4C ECoP): Business cases and funding for I-US\nHannes Utikal (Provadis School\, Process4Sustainability at Industrial Park Höchst\, Frankfurt): Practical example: Industrial Symbiosis collaboration at Höchst Industrial Park.\nEric Schuler (Avantium): Embedding CCU/the volta technology in the I-US context\n\nThe WaterProof Project and I-US Integration \nThe EU-funded research project WaterProof implements I-US by developing a cutting-edge CO2 conversion technology . Powered by renewable energy\, this unique electrochemical process converts CO₂ captured from wastewater treatment and waste incineration into formic acid. It hereby turns emissions into a sustainable carbon feedstock replacing fossil resources. The generated formic acid will be tested in applications like fish leather tanning and consumer cleaning products as well as the formulation of Formic-derived Acidic Deep Eutectic Solvents (ADES). The project’s synergies perfectly illustrate I-US potentials: Urban CO₂ emissions supply chemical industries. Peroxide by-products treat wastewater contaminated with pesticides\, antibiotics\, and pharmaceuticals. Formic-derived Acidic Deep Eutectic Solvents (ADES) extract precious metals from ash and sludge\, creating closed loop circular systems.\nFor more information on the WaterProof project\, visit https://waterproof-project.eu.\nWaterProof is Funded by the European Union.

SUMMARY:PEFerence: Use of Food/Feed Crops for Bio-based Materials and Effects on Food Security
DESCRIPTION:Using plant-based sugars as a resource leads us to a well-known debate: The competition between food and non-food when it comes to bio-based crops. This debate is flawed\, subjective and not fully based on evidence. What is detrimental to food security are\, according to the World Food Programme in 2023\, climate change\, conflict\, extreme inequalities in wealth distribution\, heavy dependence on food imports from industrial countries\, overconsumption of meat\, losses along the value chain and the impact of the COVID pandemic. Competition between biomass uses is not mentioned among the relevant causes.\nThe authors of a related paper (https://renewable-carbon.eu/publications/?search=1&woof_text=food) argue that using food and feed crops for chemicals and materials will not necessarily exacerbate food insecurity\, and in fact has the potential to cause multiple benefits for local and global food security\, climate mitigation and other factors. One of the main authors is Lara Dammer\, Head of the “Economy & Policy” Department at nova-Institute. \nThis free webinar gives you the opportunity to learn more about the new scientific insights on crops for bio-based materials directly from the source. At the end\, there will be time for your questions to be answered live by Lara Dammer. \nPEFerence 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 744409. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the Bio-based Industries Consortium. \n  \nFurther information.
