Project results should contribute to the following expected outcomes:

• Vertical integration of primary producers in bio-based systems and improved cooperation between regional stakeholders in rural areas.
• Deployment of replicable, regional, circular bio-based business models through organisational innovation.
• Mobilisation and circular use of secondary biological resources and new valorisation pathways for high added-value applications in the scope of CBE through biorefinery processing and technologies
• Through the development of new jobs and growth, diversification, and revitalisation of the economy in rural areas, ensure fair benefit distribution among all actors involved, with a focus on the primary sector.
• Production of added-value bio-based materials and industrial products with improved sustainability characteristics and identification of factors for success in respect to robust contracts and agreements, training, and capacity building.
• Support the establishment of cooperatively owned biorefineries, taking advantage of having full control of the value chain, optimizing value creation and stability in high quality feedstock supply.
• Preservation/improvement of soil quality and fertility.
• Public awareness and acceptance of bio-based solutions.
• Support market uptake growth and acceptance of scalable bio-based solutions.
