Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking
Funds research and industrial projects that turn renewable biological resources into circular products.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
Funds one €1.2M project to map barriers and build industry roadmaps for switching from fossil-based to bio-based feedstocks and processes.
Funds two €7M projects that turn farm, forestry, aquatic and urban bio-waste into market-ready chemicals, materials and ingredients.
Funds €7M projects that make bio-based additives safer and easier to recycle or biodegrade in products across at least two markets.
Funds two €7M projects turning bark, sawdust and other woody residues into validated bio-based chemicals or materials for sustainable end products.
Funds two €7M projects that make durable products from renewable feedstocks and give cross-linked plastics viable recycling, reuse or upcycling routes.
Funds two €7M projects that make bio-based packaging films and coatings perform better, work in factories and support circular end-of-life routes.
Funds one €20M industrial project that scales biotechnology into sustainable biorefineries and market-ready bio-based products.
Funds one €20M industrial project making safe bio-based fertilisers or crop-protection products that work in real fields.
Funds one €20M project that turns bio-based chemicals and ingredients into safer, sustainable home and personal care products at industrial scale.
Funds one €20M innovation project that scales alternative proteins, oils, fibres or specialty carbohydrates into safe, accepted food ingredients.
Funds consortia to cut cost, solvent use, energy and water in biorefineries, tested across at least three industrial or demo-scale use cases.
Funds two €3.25M projects that turn alternative bio-feedstocks into safe, circular polymers tested across at least two markets.
Funds two €3.25M projects that turn sustainable biomass or bio-based textile waste into high-performing, circular fibres.
