This funding call aims to support the harmonization and optimization of composting plants' performances in Europe. It addresses the need for enhanced waste management practices in line with EU environmental policies, focusing on achieving sustainable bioeconomy goals. The scope includes analyzing industrial composting plants' technical performances, ensuring full biodegradation of compostable packaging, and delivering actionable recommendations for harmonizing composting processes across the EU. Proposals are encouraged to incorporate international cooperation and involve local authorities, waste management operators, and other stakeholders.
The objectives include:
- Improving the territorial deployment of composting plants.
- Sharing best practices to optimize environmental performances of composting facilities.
- Reducing pollutants and improving the safety and quality of compost.
Successful projects should contribute to a cleaner and more competitive circular economy by leveraging innovative technologies, microbial bioaugmentation strategies, and sustainable approaches to bio-waste management.
