The HOOP Circularity Label tool is an instrument to understand the current performance of a city/region regarding the implementation of bio-circular measures.
The HOOP Circular Valuation method is a clear and simple method for companies and public bodies to assess whether circular projects are financially attractive.
The HOOP Project Maturity Level (PML) is a standard guidance and ranking tool that evaluates the maturity level of the projects in accordance to several criteria to accomplish and reach, in order to improve their maturity and bankability to mobilise green financing and funding for its realisation.
In Best Practices Atlas we collect best BBP (Bio based Products and Processes) practices, from inside and outside Europe, that are wholly or partly transferable to other regions, or serve as an inspiration for partners in the value chain. An interactive web based tool will provide easy to find information on the best practices identified.
BioCircularCities tool supports the identification of the most suitable technological options (bio-circular technologies) for improving the biowaste management. The BioCircularCities tool relies on the consideration of a list of influential criteria which was established from what have emerged from the analysis of a literature-based state of the art of the main drivers and barriers towards the development of biocircular value chains for biomass waste management.
The BioGrace-II tool is an Excel-based tool for the calculation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for electricity, heat and cooling from biomass. It is developed from a European Union policy perspective. The tool is developed for companies that want to demonstrate compliance to RED-II sustainability criteria, for auditors who verify claims made by companies, and for anyone else making bio-energy GHG emission calculations for instance for scientific purposes.
Material Circularity Indicators (MCI) is an assessment tool for companies to improve product design and material procurement. It enables users to analyse and evaluate a range of environmental, regulatory, and supply chain risks for their designs and products.
The Enabling Coaching Activities, available through an online simple questionnaire provided via the website, will support biomass producers or the BBP industry for the uptake of emerging best practices and help the applicants figure out more details about the bio-economy and its component. The applicant can ask about biomass, bio-based products, innovation & technologies, scientific papers, EU and national laws, and much more.
Circular business models, Circular strategies, Incentives, Legislation, Valorisation technologies
In this section you will find existing strategies for the transition to a circular economy adopted at national, regional or local level by public authorities.
Innovation watch collects useful information about technologies, innovation and processes and shares it with you to help improve and expand your practices.
In this database you find a range of bio-based products that are already on the market. For each product you can find information on the product itself, for example its specifications, bio-based content, and sustainability certification. This database is only available in the English language.
The Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy supports policymaking by identifying, filtering and structuring relevant information and making it accessible; bringing together researchers, policymakers and other experts in the field; analysing, synthesising available evidence and communicating it in a transparent, tailored and concise manner
Pilots4U maps all existing open access pilot and demo-infrastructures across Europe, creating a very visible and easily accessible network for the European bio-economy.
Starting tool for companies interested in circular economy thinking. It allows them to explore and identify the most suitable circular pathways for their products by answering just a few questions. Informed by best practices of other companies, the Circular Pathfinder guides the user towards circular pathways that have potential in their specific case. It explains why certain pathways, such as product remanufacturing, life extension or recycling are of interest, with examples.
S2BIOM developed strategies, roadmaps, and information databases on sustainable biomass potentials, resource efficient pathways and optimal logistical supply routes at local, regional, national and pan-European level for EU27, western Balkans, Turkey and Ukraine.
The Tech4Biowaste technology database is a dynamic database of relevant technologies of biowaste utilisation. The Tech4Biowaste project provides the bio-based industry with a complete overview of existing and emerging technologies for biowaste utilisation and valorisation. The technology database contains up-to-date information and is accessible to everybody
Get a snapshot of the impact of your daily lifestyle. Compare how much water is used to make a variety of products so that you can choose to reduce your water footprint. For those that want to find out more, the green, blue and grey water footprint shows the source of water consumed and the volume of fresh water required for assimilation of pollutants.
