🚨 The CBE JU-funded BIO-INSPIRE project is working to put the EU widening regions of on the #bioeconomy map. It will build stronger regional bioeconomy clusters so that local businesses, researchers and policymakers can work together more effectively: cbe.europa.eu/projects/bio-i…

The European Commission has launched a public consultation on the upcoming Biotech Act, a major policy initiative to boost Europe's biotech and biomanufacturing capacity across food, health, industry and sustainability. 🗓️ 10 November 2025 🔗 ec.europa.eu/info/law/bette…

🚨 New project alert! The coatings industry plays a crucial role across many sectors, but it is still heavily dependent on fossil-based and toxic materials. The CBE JU-funded BIO4COAT project will develop bio-based coatings from renewable feedstocks: cbe.europa.eu/projects/bio4c…

Agriculture plays an important role in our economy and food systems, but it is also responsible for a big share of plastic waste. The CBE JU-funded MoeBIOS project is working on new recycling processes for agricultural bioplastics like PLA, PHA, PBS & PEF: moebios.eu/bioplastics-in…

Primary producers are vital to the circular #bioeconomy, yet many face barriers to joining bio-based value chains. The CBE JU-funded Rootlinks project will provide farmers, foresters & other actors the tools, training to take part in research & innovation: cbe.europa.eu/projects/rootl…

🚨 New project alert! Europe releases over 500 million tonnes of biogenic CO₂ every year, much of which is never reused. The CBE JU-funded CERNET project is developing new ways to capture these emissions and turn them into products. Discover more: cbe.europa.eu/projects/cernet

CBE JU is pleased to be featured together with the European Research Executive Agency in the latest CORDIS results pack 'Strengthening the EU’s prosperity through sustainable & circular bioeconomy innovations', showcasing impactful #HorizonEurope projects: cordis.europa.eu/article/id/460…

Plastic used in agriculture can degrade soil health, harm biodiversity &add to greenhouse gas emissions. The CBE JU-funded INSOIL project is developing #biobased, in-soil biodegradable products that can replace conventional plastics & improve soil quality: cbe.europa.eu/projects/insoil

Each year, more than 1 billion tonnes of food is wasted worldwide, generating CO2 emissions and losing resources. A new CBE JU study examines how this waste can be converted into renewable energy, sustainable materials & valuable chemicals: doi.org/10.1007/s43621…

Microalgae offer an alternative to less sustainable biomass, with applications in food & plastics. The CBE JU-funded MULTIPLY project will turn 5 microalgae species into 10 products for food, feed, biomaterials, lubricants, coatings, packaging & cosmetics: cbe.europa.eu/projects/multi…

Thousands of tonnes of plastic composite waste are buried in landfills every year. Most of it can’t be recycled...yet! The CBE JU-funded Cubic Project is developing 100% recyclable #biobased composites that perform like fossil-based materials but can be reused again and again.

The construction sector is responsible for nearly 37% of global CO₂ emissions, with challenges like high energy use, waste at end-of-life. The CBE JU-funded BIOS MATER project is tackling this by designing durable, sustainable #biobased building materials cbe.europa.eu/projects/bios-…
