The circular bioeconomy: Its elements and role in European bioeconomy clusters
Biomass is projected to play a key role in meeting global climate targets. To achieve a resource-efficient biomass use, European bioeconomy strategies increasingly consider the concept of a circular bioeconomy (CBE). We define the term CBE via a literature review and analyze the concept’s role in north-west European bioeconomy clusters through interviews. We identify strategies regarding the clusters’ feedstock and product focus, and investigate what role biorefineries, circular solutions, recycling and cascading play.

Who creates the circular economy? - by Sally Bourdon from @REFLOW_project
One piece of inspiration comes from Alexander Lemille who advocates for not Circular economy but a ‘Circular Humanosphere,’ a Circular Economy 2.0 which emphasises the need for intergenerational and interspatial decision-making. That’s what we’re doing with REFLOW: bringing together representatives from a variety of organisations, initiatives, lines of thought and work to co-create the holistic definition of the circular economy – in short, society.
