Glad to announce that Professor Ramesh Babu has 2 projects selected for funding under the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU)

The CBE JU has completed its evaluation, selecting 30 proposals to receive nearly €215.5 million in funding, with Professor Babu involved in two of these projects. The first project, led by James Gaffey (MTU) with Professor Babu as a partner, is titled “Rural BioRefineries – Green BioRefineries.” This project focuses on small-scale circular green biorefineries aimed at enhancing farmer sustainability and competitiveness, and building resilient rural areas.

The second project which Prof Babu has secured funding for is ReBioCycle – A new European blueprint for circular bioplastics upcycling solutions led By Kevin O’Connor (UCD/BiOrbic). ReBioCycle proves a portfolio of bioplastic sorting and recycling technologies within 3 complementary waste-processor-centric HUB at DEMO scale and in the real operational environment the effective and efficient recycling of 3x types of bioplastics (PLA, PHA, Mater- Bi) to demonstrate higher impact of obtaining the same or superior grade recycled polymers and other higher value applications.
