About the project
Despite the recycling of waste having improved in the past decades, municipal solid waste still contains a large part of organic fraction that is not used efficiently but rather incinerated with the MSW or sent to landfills. Through the concept of a biorefinery, organic fraction can be managed more efficiently in terms of circular economy.
Impact of the project:
The CIRCULAR BIOCARBON project will be the first and only project that seeks to open the way for new business and entrepreneurial frameworks, based on an innovative circular vision of municipal solid waste and sludge treatment in wastewater treatment plants.

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse funding experts supported the CIRCULAR BIOCAROBN project in building the consortium and the successful funding proposal in the highly competitive BBI JU call.
The funding enables the consortium to build and operate this biorefinery project, the first of its kind in Europe on an industrial scale.
Spinverse greatly contributed to the configuration of an excellent consortium, providing their expertise and advice in order to get a final industry-oriented team, which succeeded in the achievement of a funded BBI flagship project.
