Agro2Circular: TERRITORIAL CIRCULAR SYSTEMIC SOLUTION FOR THE UPCYCLING OF RESIDUES FROM THE AGRIFOOD SECTOR
Agro2Circular (A2C) project is focused on the implementation of the first territorial systemic solution for the upcycling of most relevant residues in the agrifood sector (fruits & vegetables as well as plastic multilayers) into high added value products, powered by a digital tool and constructed upon a systemic approach with high replicable/scalable potential.
A2C will be demonstrated in the Region of Murcia (Spain) and replicated throughout Europe for the territorial deployment of the circular economy.

Impact
A2C territorial decoupling model is able to create increasing economic returns, reducing the social gap and regenerating the natural capital for regions. By tackling this potential, A2C will enable addressing socioeconomic and environmental global concerns, contributing to the recovery of European impacts of COVID19 crisis while increasing the security of some of the key product value chain for Europe, such as packaging, plastics and food as following sections will demonstrate it.
