CL6-2027-01-CIRCBIO-09: Sustainability assessment partner (LCA, MFA, system dynamics) for bio-based upcycling and recycling
Professor of Circular Economy at Bern University of Applied Sciences
Biel, Switzerland
About
Topic: HORIZON-CL6-2027-01-CIRCBIO-09 (also open to CIRCBIO-07 on biomass flows).
Our expertise and role: BFH joins as a partner and WP lead or co-lead for the sustainability assessment of bio-based upcycling and recycling routes: prospective and social LCA, biomass and material flow analysis, and system dynamics of scale-up and value-chain effects (simulation modelling of feedback loops and long-term scenarios). We have experience with the valorisation of agri-food residues (cocoa, coffee), research links to Latin America, and transdisciplinary co-creation with industry and farmers.
Partners we are looking for: a coordinator, bio-based industry and recycling companies, and technology developers for upcycling processes.
