VaLiBio
VaLiBio (Valorizing Horticultural Bio-Residues in Limburg for a Circular Economy) explores how horticultural residues in Limburg can be converted into renewable feedstocks for the (bio)chemical industry. The project aims to identify circular valorization pathways that improve regional resource efficiency and reduce reliance on fossil-based raw materials.
By combining Material Flow Analysis with supply chain analysis, VaLiBio assesses how local biomass streams can be effectively integrated into sustainable value chains. The project brings together expertise in sustainability, chemistry, business, and logistics.
VaLiBio is led by the SusChem group at the Aachen-Maastricht Institute for Biobased Materials (AMIBM) and the Brightlands Institute for Supply Chain Innovation (BISCI), in collaboration with Ebert HERA (via Brightsite at Brightlands Chemelot Campus) and BlueHub (at Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo).
Together, the partners aim to accelerate Limburg’s transition toward a circular and biobased economy.
