Circular Bioeconomy Business Models owned by Agrocooperatives

生物经济的大规模推广需要建立新的模式，并在初级部门和其他利益攸关方之间建立互动，以实现共同参与的生物产业。从这个意义上说，ROBOCOOP-EU提出了农业部门的突破性文化变革，部署了有效的地区性和循环型生物商业模式，用于对来自葡萄、橄榄和核果三个农业部门的废物进行有价证券评估。这将扩大商业机会的真实情景，使中小型农民和合作社的经济多样化，使以生物为基础的产品组合能够实现更多功能的生物精炼。这一模式将允许将次级河流整合到一个整体闭环系统中，从而改善生态足迹和具有社会影响的收入。ROBOCOOP-EU将：让初级部门的8个行为者参与建立基于生物的价值链；通过供应链和物流优化的方式避免25%-30%的温室气体排放；设计1个工业化规模的零废物多原料生物精炼厂(基于现有的生物化合物提取和第二流配价工艺)；验证17种新产品(3种食品配方、3种饲料添加剂、5种化妆品和营养食品、1种塑化剂和5种生物肥料)。为了在其3个区域中心(埃斯特雷马杜拉、阿普利亚和马其顿西部)成功实施商业模式，ROBOCOOP-EU将整合多学科知识，开发名为“生活实验室”的联合创新空间，在那里，合作伙伴和利益攸关方将讨论和验证实现可持续和有利可图的共同参与生物精炼的最协商一致的途径，并寻求公共和私人基金计划的可行方案。ROBOCOOP-EU联盟由22个多部门合作伙伴组成，专门用于以非竞争性和互补性地位覆盖整个生物价值链，这反过来又将确保有效传播和利用成果。

The bioeconomy roll-out on a large scale needs the establishment of new models and interactions between the primary sector and other stakeholders toward co-participated bioindustries. In this sense, ROBOCOOP-EU proposes a breakthrough cultural change in the agrosector, by deploying effective regional and circular bio-based Business Models for the valorisation of waste streams from 3 agricultural sectors: grape, olive and stone fruit. This will expand real scenarios of commercial opportunities to diversify the economy of small and medium scale farmers and cooperatives, enabling a more versatile biorefinery with a portfolio of biobased products. This model will allow the integration of secondary streams in a holistic closed loop, thus improving the ecological footprint and revenues with social impact. ROBOCOOP-EU will: involve 8 actors of the primary sector in the establishment of biobased value chains; avoid 25-30% of GHG emissions by means of supply chain and logistic optimisation; design 1 zero-waste multi-feedstock biorefinery at industrial scale (based on existing processes for biocompounds extraction and 2nd streams valorisation); validate 17 new products (3 food formulations, 3 feed additives, 5 cosmetics and nutraceutics, 1 plasticiser and 5 biofertilisers). In order to achieve a successful implementation of the business models in its 3 regional hubs (Extremadura, Apulia and Western Macedonia), ROBOCOOP-EU will integrate multidisciplinary knowledge by developing co-creative spaces called “Living Labs”, where partners and stakeholders will discuss and validate the most consensual pathway towards sustainable and profitable co-participated biorefinery and seek for public and private fund scheme workable scenario. ROBOCOOP-EU consortium is composed by 22 multisectorial partners, specifically designed to cover the entire bio-based value chain in non-competitive and complementary position, which in turn will ensure an effective dissemination and exploitation of results.
