European Green Deal's most significant component is the new circular economy action plan (CEAP). A circular economy will help decrease the strain on natural resources and lead to sustainability. Exploiting the potential of biomass can cause the transformation of a linear economy into a circular one. An interesting area to explore is biomass from the hotel's waste management. Regarding this, one of the goals of the Greek government for municipal waste management in the Greek islands is the cooperation between local authorities and the largest hotels, for the separation and collection of organic waste. The objective of this research is to state the amount and bring into use the biomass residues of Lesvos hotels by applying the IZES model. The first step is to track and cluster the largest hotels and their biomass residues on Lesvos Island and map them by using QGIS. In addition, a material flow analysis will be detecting the recent usage and possible future usage of the organic waste from the hotels. This will help to find a hotel’s decision with the aim of transitioning towards a circular economy.
