BioReCer Deliverable D6.1 Mid- report about case studies

BioReCer aims to ensure the environmental performance and traceability of biological feedstockused by the bio-based industries. This will be executed through the deployment of guidelines tostrengthen current certification schemes by including new criteria that align with EU taxonomyand EU corporate due diligence regulations. Within this approach, the added value, the use, aswell as the social acceptance of bioproducts will be increased. BioReCer is structured in threemain technological pillars:- Development of a multidimensional assessment framework and a digital BioReCer ICT-tool (BIT) for the aggregated and collaborative analysis of biological feedstocks and theirassociated supply chains.- Creation of a BioReCer Innovation Ecosystem Living-Lab (BRIE-LL) following a multi-agent approach and the testing of this framework in four bio-based supply chain casestudies.- Using all generated knowledge to complement current certification schemes by includingnew sustainability and traceability criteria and ensure their applicability at EU and globalscale. Therefore, D6.1 aims to carry out a Demonstration and Validation of BioReCer tools andmethodologies. A framework will be implemented with all relevant stakeholders to develop andstreamline the management of the demonstration studies. In this demonstration, therepresentation of key actors will be included: producers, processors, end-users, consumers,investors, NGOs, governmental bodies for consultation, through the development of value chainsTo develop these value chains, 4 case studies were selected in different countries in whichdifferent biomasses are included:• Fishery/sewage sludge demo case (case study 1- Spain): ANFACO-CEC.• Urban biowaste demo case (case study 2- Italy): UNIVPM.• Agro sector demo case (case study 3- Greece): CERTH.• Forestry demo case (case study 4- Sweden): RISE.
