Bi0SpaCE
Industry 4.0 Enhanced Digital Product Passports and Circular Economy Dataspaces for Sustainable Bio-Based Industries
Description
Bi0SpaCE accelerates the digital and circular transformation of Europe’s bio-based industries through Digital Product Passports (DPP) enhanced with Industry 4.0 technologies. Through an interoperable data space, it ensures a secure and reliable exchange of sustainability and circular economy information along the entire value chain. With a consortium of 10 partners from seven countries, the project will validate its innovations in four key sectors: recycled paper and board, eco-industrial parks with bioenergy production and consumption, compostable packaging and plastics of marine origin (algae), and aloe vera-based cosmetic products and juices.
Objectives
- Develop technologies for Digital Product Passports (DPP) and Digital Twins (DT) to enable tracking of circularity and sustainability of bio-based products.
- Implement an interoperable and secure data space, based on FAIR and IDS principles, for the reliable exchange of information in the bio-based value chain.
- Create advanced sustainability and circularity assessment models, integrating life cycle analysis (LCA) and circular economy metrics with digital technologies.
- Validate solutions in real industrial environments, demonstrating their applicability in key sectors such as paper-cardboard, eco-industrial parks with bioenergy, compostable packaging and plant-based cosmetics.
- Promote the standardisation and adoption of DPP and data spaces in the bio-based industry, facilitating their integration in regulations and circular economy strategies at European level.
Actions
-
- Implementation of digital labelling and traceability systems to improve the circularity and sustainability of bio-based products within the tasks of WP4 (Digital Technologies for Tracking and Traceability of Bio-based Resources) where CARTIF is the package leader.
- Coordination of pilot tests in key sectors, ensuring the implementation and evaluation of the developed solutions.
- Analysis of the impact and improvement of the technologies applied in the participating industries within the tasks of WP6 (Technology
- Validation in Relevant Industrial Environments) where CARTIF is package leader.
- Application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and circular economy methodologies in the products and processes of the project.
- Generation of guidelines for the measurement and improvement of environmental impact in bioeconomy, within the activities of WP3 (Development and validation of methodologies for environmental assessment and circularity).
- Support in the implementation of digital services within the bi0SpaCE platform, including predictive models based on sustainability data and collaboration in the validation of digital solutions in industrial environments within the tasks of WP5 (Development of theCircular Data and Services Space for Bio-based Products).
- Contribution to the standardisation and regulation of DPP and data spaces (within the tasks of WP7, Technical, Business and Societal Impact).
Expected Results
- Design and implementation of digital labelling technologies to improve product traceability and circularity.
- Performance evaluation of digital labelling solutions in key project sectors. Definition of validation metrics and generation of reports with recommendations for industry.
- Development of guidelines for environmental impact assessment through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Integration of sustainability metrics in digital labelling systems.
- Integration of digital labelling with DPPs and Digital Twins to ensure product traceability.
- Contribution to standardisation initiatives for the regulation of traceability and sustainability in the bio-based industry.
R&D Line
- Digitisation and circular economy through Digital Labels, Digital Product Passports and Data Spaces in bio-based industries

Networking
4.0 Industry projects:
ARISE
The ARISE project envisions a near future which aligns with Industry 5.0, prioritising, resilient, sustainable and human-centric work environments. In such a future, companies recognise that investing in industrial human-robot interaction (HRI) is essential for achieving better short- and long-term goals, rather than a cost.
PREDICTIVO dB
PREDICTIVOdB seeks to develop an innovative solution for the maintenance of wind farms that is quick to implement and has low energy and economic requirements.
INTELIFER
INTELIFER consists of the optimisation of the process and products of a granulated NPK fertiliser manufacturing line with the support of Artificial Intelligence.
s-x-AIPI
The overall objective of s-X-AIPI (self-X Artificial Intelligence for European Process Indsutry digital transformation) is to research, develop, test and experiment an innovative toolset of custom trustworthy self-X AI technologies and applications.
PhotonHub Europe
PhotonHub Europe is the unique european Hub (DIH) in photonic that integrates the best technologies, facilities and knowledge in photonics as well as the experience of 53 partners of all Europe. The result is the creation of a unique window that offers a huge variety of support resources for industry to accelerate the integration of photonic in its products and processes.
