Description and objectives

The transition from fossil-based linear systems to circular and bio-based systems represents a key opportunity to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Circular bio-based systems make it possible to reconcile sustainable economic growth with environmental protection through the responsible use of renewable resources.

However, this transformation requires not only technological innovation but also social, economic, and political change. In this context, SUSTRACK aims to support European policymakers in developing sustainable pathways to replace fossil-based and carbon-intensive systems with circular and bio-based ones, thereby contributing to the European Green Deal.

The project seeks to identify the environmental, economic, and social limits of the current linear economy, improve assessment methodologies, and provide policy recommendations based on comparative transition scenarios.

Value proposition

Comprehensive diagnosis of the environmental, economic, and social limits of the current fossil-based linear economy.
Development of methodologies and tools to assess the impacts of the transition toward circular and bio-based systems.
Support for policy decision-making by providing scientific evidence to design sustainable strategies aligned with the European Green Deal.
Multisectoral collaboration among research centers, universities, industry, and public administrations.
Definition of priorities and recommendations to accelerate the sustainable transition across European value chains.
Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting a circular, resilient, and low-carbon economic model.
