The EU project BIOTRANSFORM analyses the potential for a transformation towards a circular bioeconomy in Europe. Six different model regions are developing individual transformation paths adapted to regional requirements, which will be evaluated and further elaborated in the course of the project with decision-makers and experts from municipalities, science, industry and technology centres, among others. In this context, CLIB is focussing on the NRW model region, which is facing particular challenges as a result of the structural change process. On the basis of locally available biomass streams, alternative value chains are to be developed that can support the future transformation of the chemical industry.

After analysing different scenarios, this stakeholder workshop will now develop the necessary steps for successful implementation. In the present scenario, the production of biopolymers based on side streams from sugar production, we will develop concrete action points along the entire value chain, which will then be incorporated into a roadmap and concrete implementation recommendations. For this co-creation process, we are looking forward to the perspective of experts from agriculture and sugar production, process technology, the chemical industry, and other stakeholders and multipliers connected to the transformation process.

In addition to being used in the BIOTRANSFORM project, we will also contribute these results to the ongoing development process of a knowledge-based circular bioeconomy for NRW.
