BCC KERs were designed to be a valuable resource for advancing CBE practices for biowaste management and bio-based products in the EU. Blended into a cohesive package the KERs offers a comprehensive approach to sustainable biowaste management, focusing on its scalability and impact, and usefulness after the end of the project. This package combines inspiring case studies and environmental and economic assessments (KER1) of alternative waste management scenarios for public sector, which demonstrate advanced LCA/LCC methodology in terms of regular use (in industrial value chains). Moreover, the proposed policy recommendations (KER3) to the implementation of CBE encompass broader principles and strategies can be adapted and applied in other European regions and value chains. Beyond being a technological achievement, the BCC Webtool (KER3) is an empowerment engine. Its criteria-based approach supports local governments, municipalities, policymakers, and waste management utilities to identify the most suitable technological options for improving biowaste management by screening the socio-economic, political, and environmental context of the territory in which the value chain shall be implemented. As a resource that continues to be accessible post-project, it catalyses local innovation and strategic planning. Moreover, the consortium sees a long-term perspective in BCC’s Webtool, which can be further developed with the help of connections built during the project's lifecycle but also by reaching out to follow-up projects, like-minded investors and collaborators that would like to commercialize it. This strategic expansion would further refine the Webtool's capabilities, cultivate partnerships, and drive its commercial potential, all while staying true to its core mission – transforming waste into opportunity.
