Following a 2-year research project investigating the waste bedding sector in the UK and France and the potential reuse of a problematic waste source – polyester duvets, the BIO-CIRC (Bio and Circular Insulation for Resourceful Construction) came to an end in June 2022.
A number of important deliverables have been achieved throughout the project including innovative prototype development, studies into waste collection processes, indoor air quality, market research, economic analyses, freely available training materials, and more.

The BIO-CIRC project has been awarded by the Interreg VA France (Channel) England programme, which is co-financed by the ERDF. The European Union (ERDF) will fund 80% of the project budget, which amounts to about €500,000 overall (€399,600 from ERDF).
The programme is a Cross Border European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) Programme which aims at supporting the development of the France (Channel) England area in line with the goals of the 2020 Europe strategy to create jobs and smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
