Survey report on regulatory obstacles and drivers for boosting a sustainable and circular urban biobased economy

This report presents a preliminary analysis of the EU regulatory obstacles and drivers influencing the production of biobased products from urban biowaste and wastewater. This analysis is based on a survey carried out in 2018 by the EU Urban Agenda’s Partnership on Circular Economy. 

The aim of this report is indeed to present to EU legislators the direct feedback from experts on how specific EU legislations are influencing the current production of biobased products from urban biowaste and wastewater. Moreover, this report can provide useful information to local policymakers interested in valorising urban organic resources through the production of biobased products by reporting direct experiences.
