Circular BioEconomy Market Uptake and Policy Support in Central Europe
Circular BioEconomy Market Uptake and Policy Support in Central Europe
Program: InterReg CE
Project ID: CE0100254
Acronym: BIOECO-UP
Coordinator: Agrárminisztérium/ Ministry of Agriculture, Hungary
Programme priority: SO2.3: Taking circular economy forward in central Europe
Project duration: 04/2023 – 03/2026
Project summary: Main challenges of circular bioeconomy in CE are poorly developed bio-based value chains, low level of consumer awareness and uneven policy progress along East-West divide. Project will take circular bioeconomy forward by designing bioeconomy value chains, changing consumers behaviour and supporting policy transformation. Significant policy impact is expected due to strategic partnership, actively involved in high-level interministerial BIOEAST Initiative composed of 11 East European Agriculture Ministries and supporting institutes. Besides policy and business sector, civil society will benefit from lower dependency on fossil-based products and improved use of bio-based products.
