About the project
Many people consider bio-based plastics as a green alternative to conventional fossil-based plastics. These plastics can offer environmental benefits, such as being made from renewable sources and sometimes being able to break down naturally. They also have a lot of promise for recycling, especially by using chemical methods to break them down into smaller units. However, before bio-based plastics can be recycled, they need to be sorted out and separated from other packaging materials, and PROSPER project coordinated by University of Ghent tackles this challenge.

Spinverse’s role
In addition to funding proposal preparation, Spinverse helped consortium with the ideation, provided subject matter expertise, identified suitable partners and implemented effective project management practises, all resulting to the success of the project proposal. Spinverse also helped to assemble a strong consortium, including the crucial participation of waste management companies.
Spinverse played a key role in ensuring a high overall quality and perfect fit of the project proposal to exactly meet the criteria of this CBE funding call. In addition, our fruitful and successful collaboration resulted in maximum scores of 15/15 in the evaluation process.

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.”
