About the project
With Andritz in the lead, the BioCircleToZero programme addresses the development of new wood-based products, the integration of related processes, the optimisation of side stream utilisation and the advancement of zero-waste and zero-emission production processes. Emphasis will be on the role of pulp mills as sources of biogenic carbon dioxide for Power-to-X plants, helping to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors.
Impact of the project:
Addressing the global challenge of deforestation leads to a more resource-efficient and sustainable forest industry, creating new jobs and further investments in the pulp and paper sector.

About the project
The LIFE Lit4Nature aims to establish a stronger, evidence-based system for biodiversity conservation and restoration across Lithuania. Major focus will be placed on strengthening the national biodiversity monitoring system, improving data collection and integration and on introducing innovative monitoring approaches to support evidence-based conservation and restoration decisions.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to boost stronger biodiversity and ecosystem recovery across Lithuania through nationwide conservation and restoration. Further, it wants to achieve better national coordination for efficient and well targeted conservation measures and their funding.
Funding instrument LIFE Programme

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal.
The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan.
Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”
