ID Extern Convocatòria: 01C0142
The challenging energy and resources situation has highlighted the importance of supporting the utilisation, circulation and recovery of biobased resources. CITISYSTEM partners share the desire to develop biobased circular economy on system and stakeholder levels in cities.
The system-level solutions are crucial, however, without active communities, they cannot function. System-level solutions include effective and innovative ways to organise policies to support circular biobased economy through the utilisation of bioresources (e.g., separate biowaste collection, production of biogas and recycling nutrients). Regions face challenges to involve the community in the circular scheme. In some regions, systems are partly working, however, biowaste, mainly food and garden waste, is still not widely processed in the most effective ways.
The activities of CITISYSTEM include regional and interregional exchange of experience and capacity building to support the improvement of policy instruments. Through the exchange of good practices, the regions will be better equipped to develop systemic biobased circularity and together with their communities make use of valuable resources. The partners will increase their knowledge through policy discussions, site visits and online thematic webinars that form the basis for joint policy development.
Budget: 1.521.696 euros
