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: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

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.
