Project Beyond BBI Projects




European Commission

•

The bioeconomy encompasses the production of renewable biological resources and the

conversion of these resources and waste streams into value added products, such as food, feed, bio-based products and

bioenergy.1

In a circular economy the value of products, materials and resources is maintained for as

long as possible, and the generation of waste minimised.2

The circular bioeconomy is about the application of the circular-economy concept to biological resources, products and materials.3
