Koehler invests Euro 5 million in European Circular Bioeconomy Fund

The Koehler Group is investing in the European Circular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF) Euro 5 million with the aim of actively fostering the development of sustainable innovations and technologies.

The ECBF is the first growth investment fund to be dedicated exclusively to projects in the field of the bioeconomy in Europe, including the accompanying circular economy. With a targeted fund size of Euro 250 million, the ECBF is set to become an important international financial instrument and to contribute to making Europe climate-neutral by 2050.

The circular economy conserves natural resources, and is one of the prerequisites for reaching the EU’s climate objectives in order to become climate-neutral by 2050. The Koehler Group is currently working on a range of innovations with a focus on circular economy concepts.

Dr. Stefan Karrer, Chief Operating Officer at Koehler, says: “When developing innovations, we not only make use of internal expertise, but also rely on collaborations and start-ups. Our involvement in the ECBF will hopefully help to ensure that targeted funding is provided for promising technological developments.”

This not only pertains to technologies for Koehler Paper, but also to a range of other activities and business models within the Koehler Group.
