Goals: Cluster SPRING is a non-profit association founded as a response to the 2012 call by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research. SPRING was created with the aim of implementing a national platform for circular bioeconomy that strives for the sustainable economic growth of local areas as well as for the entire national economy system. The Cluster SPRING aims to facilitate the transition from a product-based economy to a system-based economy, starting from the valorisation of local areas and resources (in collaboration with the primary sector) and the collaboration of the different public and private stakeholders along the entire value chain of chemistry from renewable resources. SPRING therefore contributes to the widespread growth of a common culture on bioeconomy.

Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: Operating within the framework of circular bioeconomy, SPRING targets different policies and legislative proposals, mainly related to the sustainable supply and use of biomasses (including wastes and by-products) and the creation of a fair market for bio-based products, considering all the different aspects related to (circular) bioeconomic value chains. In this context, SPRING targets the following EU policies: - Bioeconomy - Chemicals - Plastics - Sustainable Development - Agriculture and rural development, agriculture and environment - Waste and recycling (biodegradable waste, packaging waste, sewage sludge, etc.) - Cohesion policy (in support to regional stakeholders) - Sustainable Blue Economy - Green procurement - Forestry - Food waste - European standards - Environment policies (marine and coastal environment, clean air, chemicals, soil quality, waste and recycling) - Climate action (GHG emissions reduction, adapting to climate change, low carbon technologies, renewable energy)
Communication Activities: Relevant publications: - Implementation Action Plan (2020-2025) for the Italian Bioeconomy Strategy II, July 2020 (direct involvement in the writing process); - Italian Bioeconomy Strategy, May 2019 (direct involvement in the writing process); - SPRING Strategic Action Plan, 2019 (updated versions on 2021,2022 and 2023); - Report on Bioeconomy in Europe with Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center; - 12 position paper on: End of waste and EER Codes, Foodservice, Organic fertilizers, Biolubricants, Mulch films, Quality standards and demand support measures, Revision of CAM decree on urban differentiated collections, Soil and bio-products for the benefit of organic fertility, Single use plastics, Use of sludge for circular bioeconomy, Wood and Biomass supply chain and Bio-based chemicals. SPRING is already involved in activities which aim at creating skills and spread knowledge about the opportunities of bioeconomy (for instance the Biocirce Master on bioeconomy in the circular Economy) and supports regional initiatives for the implementation of territorial awareness about and implementation of bio-based solutions. SPRING organizes and co-organize several events and conferences during the year (Bioeconomy Day, IFIB, networking meeting event, etc.), and have the expertise to set up workshops and training sessions thanks to the active involvement of different experts (i.e. members of the Technical and Scientific Commettee).
