The European Union’s Bioeconomy Strategy is at a pivotal point of revision.
As the EU seeks to advance its transition towards circular economy, civil society organisations – backed by academic insights – are calling for a bioeconomy strategy that places sustainability, environmental resilience and social well-being on an equal footing.
This paper, prepared by the ECESP's Leadership Group on Bioeconomy, provides a multi-actor perspective. It focuses on sustainability, economic development (especially in rural areas) and regulatory frameworks. It highlights gaps in the existing strategy and proposes policy recommendations for policymakers and research institutions.
The aim is to boost circular construction in Noord-Holland, use fewer raw materials and thus contribute to the region's objective of switching to a fully circular economy by 2050 and reducing the use of primary raw materials by 50% in 2030.
The deal stipulates that all Participating Parties will:
apply circular harvesting as standard;
where possible, disclose how much released material has been processed in a circular manner and by what means;
share knowledge and collaborate on creating new circular chains and identifying and linking up existing chains, platforms and circular raw material hubs.
