NATIONAL COORDINATION GROUP ON BIOECONOMY ESTABLISHED AT THE PRESIDENCY OF THE COUNCIL OF MINISTERS
The Cluster participates in the coordination group, bringing its input for:
- Drafting and updating the Italian Bioeconomy Strategy (BIT II);
- Preparation of the Implementation action plan (2020-2025/2025-2027) of BIT II;
- Creation of the Wood Cluster.
Coordination of three Working Groups:
- Packaging, single use plastics, regulation packaging and packaging waste
- Using Ateco Codes
- Biobased Made in Italy
ACTION PLAN.
The ACTION PLAN represents the three-year programmatic document from the Ministry of Education, University and Research, in which four guiding Roadmaps have been identified, aimed at supporting the development of the Circular Bioeconomy in Italy:
- Demonstrative and experimental activities for the development of innovative and efficient products and processes through the development, production and utilization of agricultural, forestry and marine non-food biomass of the territories;
- Redevelopment of territories and marginal areas with a circular approach to the bioeconomy, with optimization of the cascading valorization of biomass, by-products, wastes and effluents into products and processes that cross-integrate different productive sectors in the area;
- Development of a bioeconomy culture involving all stakeholders;
- Experimental research and development activities for the collection of functional data for standardization and pre-normative activities in order to create the appropriate conditions for the market deployment of new bioproducts.
