Within the BIOREGIO project, seven Good Practices have been identified in the Pays de la Loire Region, FRANCE. Good Practices are cooperation models or technologies, which are successfully proved in practice and fulfil the criteria stated at the beginning of the BIOREGIO implementation.   

Overview of the Good Practices 


1. Reducing bio-waste from domestic waste

Implementation of an integrated service to manage waste and incentive charging to reduce the share of bio-waste in domestic waste.

2. Biomethane from anaerobic digestion of agricultural wastes 

Biomethane produced from farming waste supplied by neighbouring farms. Production of this renewable energy is part of a local bio-based circular economy.

3. Farm carbon footprint reduction through fermentable waste valorization by anaerobic digestion

7. Cluster Methatlantique 

The ambition of the cluster is to boost the AD sector in the region and strengthen existing and planned sites, as well as to promote the emergence of new sites.
