Co-processing of mixed bio-based waste streams
The 'Co-processing of mixed bio-based waste streams' (HORIZON-JU-CBE-2022-IA-04) program aims to significantly increase the processing and valorisation of diverse bio-based waste streams, including municipal biowaste and industrial residues. This initiative supports the development and market uptake of innovative, sustainable technologies to convert these heterogeneous mixtures into high-value bio-based products, thereby contributing to the European circular bioeconomy and achieving ambitious recycling targets.
Who is Funded
This program targets key actors across bio-based systems, including researchers, public entities, and industries, with a focus on valorising diverse bio-waste streams within the European Union and associated countries. Its primary objective is to enhance bio-waste processing and promote the circular bioeconomy.
What is Funded
This funding focuses on innovative projects that convert mixed bio-based waste streams into valuable products. Supported activities span various industrial and agricultural sectors, emphasizing advanced recycling and upcycling technologies at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 6-7.
