26. June 2024, Bologna (Italy): The ONE EARTH project is kicking-off to develop innovative bio-based solutions for a sustainable circular economy. Funded from the Horizon Europe program of the European Commission in the amount of €3,999,971.25, it brings together an interdisciplinary and international consortium of leading researchers and industry experts from across Europe.
A four-year long research project, ONE EARTH aims to develop and assess bio-based solutions for nutraceuticals, cosmetics, bioadhesives, fertilizers, and fish feed. By exploiting residual biomass of animal origin from terrestrial and aquatic resources and using terrestrial biomass for aquaculture products, it will create integrated circular value chains. Thus, addressing global sustainability challenges and promoting a self-reinforcing carbon cycle. The ambitious goals are set to generate significant advancements in bio-based product development.
