Munster Technological University is partnering on a new project on the circular bioeconomy.
This €3 million MainstreamBIO initiative aims to see Europe become the first climate neutral continent.
The circular bioeconomy is an economy powered by nature and its sustainable resources.
It’s a model of production and consumption, which involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products for as long as possible.
Munster Technological University is a partner in a new Horizon Europe project, MainstreamBIO.
It’s aimed at supporting the roll out of a circular bioeconomy with producers across rural regions in Europe.
MainstreamBIO will support the European Green Deal, which aims to see Europe become the first climate neutral continent.
The European Bioeconomy Strategy recognises the opportunity to regenerate rural communities, by creating sustainable business models through local small-scale bio-based companies.
MainstreamBIO began on September 1st and will run for three years.
James Gaffey Co-director of Circular Bioeconomy Research Group at Shannon ABC in MTU provides a demonstration.
