What we do

The main goal of the CirBioWaste project is to support the improvement of environmental resilience and foster the transition to an efficient and circular bioeconomy in the MED area.

CirBioWaste aims at tackling the challenges, identified across partner experience and different EU projects, on the fulfilment of the obligation of member states to separately collect and recycle the municipal biowaste and meet the EU-related targets. The project will reach this goal by supporting the public administrations in the EU MED area in the implementation of existing innovative bio-waste management solutions adapted to their local context.

CirBioWaste will deliver and adapt the following innovative and sustainable bio-waste management solutions encompassing the different steps of the value chain:

• To promote efficient public awareness models to reduce bio-waste generation and increase separate collection addressing consumers’ behavioural change;
• To improve bio-waste separate collection with efficient individualized models (door-to-door and containers with controlled access that identifies the user) to obtain a better quality and a higher capture of separately collected;
• To promote the efficient recycling of bio-waste in centralised or decentralised plants (home and community composting);
• To foster the effective use of recycled products (organic fertilizers) on soil to improve the return of nutrients/organic matter.
