DISCOVER THE MARKET-DRIVEN CIRCULAR & BIOECONOMY as EU Green Week Partner Event
8 June 2021 - 8 June 2021
Vienna, Austria, Austria
Join us on 8 June to discuss the role fast-moving research and innovation academic-industry partnerships funded by the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI-JU) and Horizon 2020 programmes have in fostering resilience and building towards a net zero future and zero pollution of air, soil, and water.
In 2021, the European Commission has adopted the action plan “Towards a Zero Pollution Ambition for air, water and soil – building a Healthier Planet for Healthier People”. The impact of pollution is not isolated to one sphere. On the contrary, the interconnection between the spheres of the global ecosystem (water, soil, air, and biosphere) is visible and unavoidable. The path towards zero pollution is paved with complementary solutions based on bioeconomy or circular economy approaches. However, interconnected value chains seem to be fragmented across regions and fields.
How do we connect the actors across industries? What is the business case for sustainability? The Market-driven Circular & Bioeconomy EU Green Week Partner Event brings together representatives of European projects based on industry-academic partnerships in the fields of biodiversity, forestry, engineering, chemistry, agriculture, and transport.
The five running projects funded by Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI-JU) and Horizon 2020 are represented by:
TECH4EFFECT - Technologies for effective wood procurement
• Rasmus Astrup, Head of Research at Division of Forest and Forest Resources at NIBIO
• Kalle Einola, Technology Manager at PONSSE
SUSBIND - Bio-binders for wood-based panels
• Massimo Bregola, Global Application Lead, Binders & Adhesives at CARGILL
• Johan Bruck, Material and Innovation Cross Area Leader at IKEA
SUSFERT - Sustainable multifunctional fertilizer
• Günter Brader, Senior Scientist, Bioresources at AIT
• Nikolaus Schwaiger, Chemical Engineer at SAPPI
BIOVEXO - Biopesticides targeting bacterial olive quick decline syndrome
• Jose Madero, R&D Project Manager at DOMCA
• Josep Pocalles, Project Manager at AIMERIT Olive Farm
SUSTAINair - Sustainable aerospace material value chains
• Jürgen Roither, Mechanical Research Engineer at AIT-LKR
• Jesper de Wit, R&D Project Manager at INVENT GmbH
• Stefan Steeger, Head of Aviation Business Unit at INVENT GmbH
SPECIAL GUEST from Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking
• Virginia Puzzolo, Head of Programme Unit at Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking
