Simulation of Miscanthus- and Sorghum-based resilient value chains in the Danube Region
Can the value chains in the Danube macro-region be more sustainable and resilient against disruptions such as pandemics? How modelling could help to simulate the economic viability of developing Miscanthus and Sorghum based value chains in that region?
Many bioplastics can be mechanically recycled together with their conventional counterparts
"The alleged contamination of recycling streams by compostable plastics is based on misconceptions and false information and concerns, if at all, all kinds of polymers, not only compostable ones." Oliver Buchholz, European Bioplastics
