BIORADAR: Monitoring system of the environmental and social sustainability and circularity of industrial bio-based systems
Information
About project
UNI is a partner in the BioRadar project, a research and innovation project that aims to promote a sustainable bio-based economic model by improving metrics and frameworks to assess the environmental and social impacts of bio-based industrial systems. Through the development of digital monitoring tools, the project facilitates the assessment of circularity and environmental and social impacts, contributing to the transition towards more sustainable and circular processes in bio-based industries.

Project objectives
Improving the sustainability and circularity of bio-based industries
Develop and implement digital tools for monitoring and evaluating environmental and social impacts.
Promoting the transition to a bio-based economy through innovation and collaboration between sectors.
Provide metrics and frameworks for accurate assessment and self-assessment of sustainable practices.
Concrete actions
The BioRadar project focuses on several concrete actions:
- Development of metrics and frameworks to assess the environmental impacts and risks of industrial bio-based systems.
- Definition of circularity indicators and development of a framework for assessing circularity in industrial bio-based systems.
- Assessing the economic impact of closing the loop and mitigating climate change.
- Addressing the social implications of circularity and sustainability in industrial bio-based systems.
- Identification of models, best practices and up-scaling opportunities for policy recommendations.
- Development of a set of integrated digital tools considering the interconnectivity of all impacts.
- Demonstration of tools in the textile, packaging and bio-based chemical sectors.
