Biofairnet - Hotspots and Value Chains

Why Hotspots and Value Chains Matter for Sustainability

To build a sustainable bio-circular economy, we need to focus on the most critical areas of impact. That’s where hotspots and value chains come in!

  • Hotspots: These are key regions with high GHG emissions, resource-intensive practices, or waste management issues.
  • Value Chains: These cover the entire lifecycle of a product—from raw material extraction to waste disposal—ensuring sustainability at every stage.

BioFairNet’s Approach:

  • Identifying hotspots where sustainable transitions can have the biggest impact.
  • Rethinking value chains to integrate circular economy principles.
  • Developing digital tools for industries to reduce emissions and adopt greener practices.

Pilot locations:

  • Lesvos, Greece – Agricultural waste and biomass management
  • Réunion Island – Transitioning coal plants to biomass energy
  • Nova Scotia & Quebec – Supporting family farming and mining cooperatives
  • Kenya – Sustainable dairy and coffee value chains

By addressing these challenges, BioFairNet is paving the way for a greener future!
