The Biocirculacities Trilogy – Episode 1: Supporting local players with the transition to circular bioeconomy, and lifting the current barriers

Eager to adopt the approach adopted by the Biocircularcities pilots and spread a circular bioeconomy in your territory? The Biocircularcities Trilogy is here for you! The Biocircularcities partners tell you all about the project, its development, and findings (including the webtool) in three webinars.

Episode 1: Supporting local players with the transition to circular bioeconomy, and lifting the current barriers

This first episode unveils the story behind the success of the project or how partners supported a transition of the pilot territories toward circular bioeconomy through a collaborative approach. Partners reflected on the development of Biocircularcities over its two years of existence and shared the key findings. They presented:

• what the environmental benefit of circular bioeconomy is;
• how to support local decision-making thanks to environmental assessment;
• the current barriers preventing local players from implementing biocircular solutions and the potential solutions to it.
