On 30 November 2024, the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) completed three years of working towards green growth. Established in 2021, CBE JU has since contributed to strengthening Europe’s bioeconomy, making it more competitive, circular, and collaborative.
Together with its founding partners, the European Commission and the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), CBE JU is helping Europe lead in sustainable innovation, drive green growth and modernise the industrial base.
CBE JU-funded projects have accelerated the transition to bio-based solutions, with over 36 novel products now on the market. In addition, the initiative has funded four industrial-scale biorefineries and 44 demonstration plants. CBE JU has also supported small and medium-sized enterprises, which make up one-third of their beneficiaries, and has empowered 70 organisations from the agricultural, forestry, and farming sectors to develop and strengthen their bioeconomy.
