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 Bioeconomy Strategy Accelerator Toolkit (BSAT) is an online platform designed to guide decision-makers in developing or updating regional bioeconomy strategies. It is part of the POWER4BIO project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The BSAT aims to empower regional stakeholders to boost the transition towards bioeconomy regions in Europe by providing them with the necessary tools, instruments, and guidance.
The Circular City Guidance Tool is designed to address five key urban circularity challenges: restoring and maintaining the water cycle, water and waste treatment and recovery, nutrient recovery and reuse, energy efficiency and recovery, and food and biomass production. By integrating circular economy principles with Nature-based Solutions (NBS), the tool provides a framework to promote sustainable urban development.
The DECISIVE Decision Support Tool (DST) aims to evaluate the performance of both centralized and decentralized biowaste management systems using environmental, economic, social, and regulatory criteria. By offering detailed inventories and assessment criteria, the tool helps competent authorities, consulting firms, and waste operators make informed decisions to improve the efficiency and sustainability of biowaste management practices.
European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform – Good Practices
The Good Practices (GPs) section of the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform showcases relevant practices, innovative processes and ’learning from experience’ examples. All information is provided by the stakeholders themselves who remain responsible for accuracy and veracity of the content.
The Green Assist provides advisory services for green investment projects. It targets sectors of natural capital and circular economy, as well as non-environmental sectors, and is part of the European Green Deal Investment Plan. The Green Assist provides on-demand, free, and customized advisory services by distinguished experts. These experts are selected from an established pool or recruited from other advisory services
Innovation watch collects useful information about technologies, innovation and processes and shares it with you to help improve and expand your practices.
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
The Data Hub is a platform designed to facilitate the collection, processing, visualization, and analysis of data for urban circularity assessments. It serves as a central repository for various types of data, enabling cities to manage and analyze their information effectively.
