The SCALIBUR project, funded by the EU’s research and innovation programme Horizon 2020, has developed innovative solutions to valorize urban organic waste and sewage sludge into high-value-added products, allowing the creation of new circular economy business opportunities
About 225 Mt of municipal solid waste (MSW) has been collected in 2020 in Europe (505 kg per capita). Since only 48% is valorized (30% recycling rate and 18% valorized by composting), 50% is eliminated (27% in waste to energy/incineration plants and 23% landfilled).
