The Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), Europe\u2019s leading industry association putting circularity, innovation and sustainability at the heart of the European bioeconomy, has published the first three in a series of new reports mapping bio-based potential and opportunities for green growth in Central and Eastern Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n The new reports for Estonia<\/a>, Latvia<\/a> and Lithuania<\/a> illustrate the untapped potential in these three countries identifying new opportunities for the primary sectors, the food and beverage sector, the blue bioeconomy, bio-based chemicals, etc. through opportunities to valorise side streams and waste that today have low or no value.<\/p>\n \u201cBIC is committed to furthering the deployment of the bio-based economy in the EU-13. These reports indicate the bio-based sector\u2019s vast and untapped potential to stimulate green growth and integrate new actors into bio-based value chains\u201d says Dirk Carrez, BIC Executive Director.<\/p>\n The European bioeconomy already represents 11% of EU GDP (EU JRC report 2020) and these reports demonstrate the importance of building on Europe\u2019s green growth potential in the next EU public-private partnership \u2013 Circular Bio-based Europe. For its part, BIC will build on the report\u2019s findings through engagement with national authorities and local stakeholders.<\/p>\n These\u00a0three reports are the first in a series of country reports that will cover Central and Eastern Europe. New reports for Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia, produced as part of the BBI JU-funded CELEBio project, and two updated BIC reports for Poland and Romania, will be available later this year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) is the private partner in the \u20ac3.7 billion public-private partnership with the EU – the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU). Its membership includes 240+ industry members covering the whole value chain, from primary production to the market, across multiple and diverse sectors including agriculture & agri-food, aquaculture & marine, chemicals and materials, including bioplastics, forestry and pulp & paper, market sectors, technology providers and waste management & treatment. As part of its continuing efforts to identify new green growth opportunities, BIC will also be producing additional country reports for other EU members in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), Europe\u2019s leading industry association putting circularity, innovation and sustainability at the heart of the European bioeconomy, has published the first three in a series of new reports mapping bio-based potential and opportunities for green growth in Central and Eastern Europe.
