In a circular economy, city waste being turned into resources is of great importance, considering that more than 70% of the inhabitants in Europe live in urban areas and produce a great amount of biowaste coming from the treatment of their waste waters. The European project RES URBIS (Resources from Urban Bio-waste), showed that different biowaste produced in an urban environment can be treated within the same chain of valorisation and can obtain products with biological origins, such as bioplastic, with a higher economic value to classic compost and biogas processes. The project confirmed the technical and economic viability of this process.
