Although Europe is one of the largest economies in the world, most activities aimed at supporting the development of the bioeconomy have until now been conducted at a national level, resulting in a competitive disadvantage of Europe when compared toother major economies and is in danger of falling behind in terms of basic research, education, innovation and investment. Only a more cooperative approach can lead to a growth of bioeconomy that would be capable of addressing the grand societal challenges.
Strong sectoral and multi-disciplinary components will ensure that the knowledge-based bioeconomy answer the societal challenges and support a sustainable growth of the European economy. Research institutes and industry should be encouraged to work together in order to provideglobal food security, improve nutrition and public health, make industrial processing cleaner and more efficient and make a significant contribution in the effort to mitigate climate change.
OUR OBJECTIVES:
- Awareness-raising: educational activities in kinder gardens, elementary and high schools
- Direct all of our activities at achieving full bioeconomy potential
- Complement already existing recycling streams with bio industry and biomaterials in order to achieve full impacts of circular economy
- Together with our partners continue working on new packaging solutions with advanced and/or tuned properties that are environment friendly
- To promote 94/62/EC Directive on packaging and packaging waste and its Amandment 720/2015
- Encourage innovation to make sure that more of the knowledge developments reach the commercialisation stage
