Rome, 23/10/2025 – After three years of research, collaboration, and stakeholder engagement, the SUSTRACK project — funded by the European Commission under Horizon Europe and coordinated by UnitelmaSapienza University of Rome — concludes its mission to identify barriers, design tools, and guide policy for Europe’s transition toward a circular bio-based economy (CBBE).
Throughout its lifetime, SUSTRACK has brought together more than 700 stakeholders, organised over 15 events and 5 capacity-building activities, and collected insights through three surveys focusing on four high-impact sectors: chemical, construction, plastics, and textiles. “Our ambition was not only to analyse the transition but to design pathways that make it achievable,” says Prof. Piergiuseppe Morone, SUSTRACK project coordinator. “By combining evidence-based analysis, modelling, and policy dialogue, we have developed actionable tools and knowledge that can support the next generation of sustainable policies.”
