Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.
The Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) has published the first three in a series of
new reports mapping bio-based potential and opportunities for green growth in
Central and Eastern Europe.
Press release: “Bio-based sector offers new
opportunities for green growth in EU-13”, 4/5/2020.

Latvia and Lithuania
The new reports for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania illustrate the untapped potential in these three countries identifying new opportunities for the primary sectors, the food and beverage sector, the blue bioeconomy, bio-based chemicals... through opportunities to valorise side streams and waste that today have low or no value.
These three reports are the first in a series of country reports that will cover Central and Eastern Europe. New reports for Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia, produced as part of the BBI JU-funded CELEBio project, and two updated BIC reports for Poland and Romania, will be available later this year.
