Improving biomass flows for a sustainable and circular bioeconomy

investigación innovación I+D+i desarrollo tecnológico europeo. HORIZON Innovation Actions Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes: enhanced capacity of private and public stakeholders to increase resource efficiency in collecting, processing and using primary and secondary biomass, ensuring that ecosystems and biodiversity are protected and restored, emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants reduced, and human needs for biomass satisfied in sufficient and fair way, including food security; increased environmental, social and economic value added from the various uses of biomass, including bio-waste, e.g. food losses and food waste; reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and (air, water and soil) pollution, due to avoiding landfilling and incineration of bio-waste; demonstrated environmental, social and economic and social benefits for the municipalities involved in the collection and provision of bio-waste. Scope: Successful proposals should contribute to the implementation of the new EU bioeconomy strategy and its action plan; and the Waste Framework Directive and the Landfill Directive, e.g. on bio-waste management. Project outcomes will contribute to the objectives of the recent initiatives on Circular Eco
