How bike wash infrastructure qualifies under EU Green Deal frameworks and available funding programs.

Frequently asked questions

Which Green Deal programs fund bike wash?

Most directly: the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, the Green Infrastructure Strategy, and NextGenerationEU recovery funds for active-mobility infrastructure. Many member states also run national co-funding (Germany: Nationaler Radverkehrsplan; Netherlands: Dutch Cycling Embassy grants).

What technical criteria matter for qualification?

Energy efficiency (we rate Class A on < 120 Wh/cycle), water recycling ≥ 50% (we achieve 85%), biodegradable cleaning agents, and certified life-cycle assessment. OASIS includes all four by default; Mini and Pro can be upgraded with the water-recycling module.

Can municipalities claim co-funding?

Yes, through the Cohesion Fund and ERDF. Typical co-funding rates are 50-70% for infrastructure in less-developed regions, 30-50% elsewhere. Applications usually run via the regional managing authority — lead time 6-18 months.

Do you provide the LCA documentation?

Yes. The full ISO 14040-compliant LCA is available on request for all OASIS installations, and as a paid add-on for Pro. We cover cradle-to-grave scope including manufacturing, installation, 10-year operation, and end-of-life recycling.
