CIRCULAR BIOCARBON

CIRCULAR BIOCARBON presents a first-of-a-kind, flagship biorefinery designed to valorise the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) and Sewage Sludge (SS) into high added-value end products. The biorefinery will turn organic waste streams generated in a city into added-value products for industries and end-consumers, including: coating of direct consumer products, coating of mechanical moving parts, coating of plastic moulding tools, biodegradable and compostable waste bags, green graphene-based devices and products, biodegradable soil mulch films, solid organomineral fertiliser with biostimulant properties and liquid biobased biostimulant. The CIRCULAR BIOCARBON biorefinery will be implemented in two locations: Zaragoza (Spain) and Sesto San Giovanni (Italy). At both sites, the biorefinery will be operated for three years. In Spain, the biorefinery will be established by URBASER in collaboration with SOCAMEX, while in Italy it will be performed by CAP. This project receives funding from the Horizon 2020 Research & Innovation Programme granted by the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking.
