ReBioBW

Survey Regarding Agricultural Side Streams Available Until 30.6.2023

Residues have potential beyond just being left on the field. Changing course and using these materials economically allows for more intelligent management of limited resources. With the ReBioBW project, the state wants to investigate which residues and sidestreams arise from production and which ways they are valuated. The results will be used to close loops in material cycles and will be an important cornerstone for future business models.
