𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐍𝐀𝐓!🌱 We’re excited to share that our latest deliverable, D8.7, for the BeonNATproject was submitted this September, focusing on an Intermediate Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) of BeonNAT'sinnovative products. This assessment took a deep dive into the environmental, economic, and social impacts of pilot-scale products, with a special focus on critical issues like Land Use Change (LUC).🌍 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭?🔍 A total of 26 unique productswere evaluated, derived from six species including Betula pendulain Romania, Ulmuspumilaand Cistus ladaniferin Spain, Cytisusscopariusin Germany, Juniperus communis, and Rosmarinus officinalisin Spain. Among these, we analyzed diverse products such as vegetal extracts, essential oils, lactic acid, biochar, activated carbon, pet absorbents, particle boards, and tissue paper. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 📊 •Environmental Impact: Climate change, fossil resource use, and land use emerged as the most relevant impact categories across products. •Economic Drivers: Equipment and labor were primary cost contributors. •Social Impact: Health and safety stood out as a critical factor. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭?🚀 Looking forward, we’re gearing up for a comprehensive life cycle analysis of these BeonNATproducts to assess their impact across their entire lifecycle. Stay tuned for more insights on how BeonNATis driving sustainable innovation!📢

The finalists for the Capgemini Nordic Sustainability Tech Award 2024 are out! Let’s check out the impressive Danish finalists and their projects, highlighting their strong commitment to sustainability technology and innovation: 🏆 Finalist #1: Lyras A/S With Lyras A/S’ UV technology, raslysation, liquid treatment & food producers can save 60-90% of their energy consumption and 60-80% of the water consumption, compared to traditional pasteurization. In several industries one installation has led to annual CO2 savings of more than 850 tons. 🏆 Finalist #2: SproutWorld SproutWorld makes the only plantable pencils in the world. By planting the pencils after use instead of throwing them out, the user can give them a new life by when they grow into herbs, vegetables, flowers, fruits or trees. 🏆 Finalist #3: Tønder Biogas by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners Tønder Biogas converts organic waste into biomethane and biogenic CO2. Stay tuned for more updates on the finalists from the other Nordic countries, all leading up to the award day! #CapgeminiNordic #GetTheFutureYouWant #CapgeminiNordicSustainabilityTechAward #Sustainability #Innovation #NordicSustainabilityTechAward2024

The EU recently boosted its investment in bio-based projects as part of its 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥, pouring €897 million into initiatives advancing sustainable food systems, circularity, and bioeconomy. These projects cover everything from bio-based textiles to eco-friendly chemicals, aiming to decouple production from fossil resources. 🏭 🔗 The upcoming #TechTour Bio-Based Industries event will bring these topics to the forefront, featuring innovators focused on Europe’s bio-based and circular economy goals. 🔍 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐰? Bio-based polymers are reducing the reliance on traditional plastics, impacting sectors like packaging, textiles, and agriculture. Projects are fostering circular solutions, such as converting agricultural waste into high-value products. This funding will also support ecosystem protection, climate adaptation, and more resilient food systems. 💡 It’s a big step for Europe’s strategic autonomy in bio-based innovation and a crucial path toward achieving our collective sustainability goals.  Who else is working on bio-based or circular innovations? 🔗 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬-𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰👇 #TTBIO24 #TechTour #BioBasedEconomy #CircularEconomy #SustainableInnovation #GreenDeal

I'll be happy to moderate the 3rd EUBP Talk on Alternative Feedstock and learn how brewery waste can be transformed into bioplastics! 💡

Join the CBE JU-funded CIRCULAR BIOCARBON project webinar 'Transforming biowaste into bio-based materials: unlocking opportunities for local bioeconomies' In Europe, cities generate around 90 million tonnes of organic waste annually, yet over half is still sent to landfills or incineration. This webinar will explore the innovative solutions presented by the project, featuring a first-of-its-kind #biorefinery that converts urban organic waste into valuable resources. Key topics will include: 🏙 Overview of urban #biobased economies ⚗ Latest advancements in biowaste valorisation 💰 Local economic development policies, including bioeconomy clusters and industrial symbiosis 🧔 Testimonials and best practices from local authorities There will also be a Q&A session for participants to engage and share insights. 🗓️ 4 December, 10-12 (CET) 📍 Online Register 👉 https://lnkd.in/dPGeR8Wi

Joining Neal Suntken to speak about spaces to spur innovation we have Kate A. Engel from Nebraska Innovation Campus. They will be talking about how the right environment can foster innovation and collaboration to help grow the market and supercharge the transition away from fossil and towards bio.
