The Sustainable Path to a Circular Bioeconomy

Hadley Kershaw, Eleanor; Hartley, Sarah; Mcleod, Carmen; Polson, Penelope

Abstract

Circular bioeconomy is gaining prominence in academic, policy, and industry contexts, linking circular economy and bioeconomy agendas in service of sustainability. However, it is at risk of developing in narrow, unsustainable ways. A sustainable path to circular bioeconomies must embrace diverse expert and stakeholder input, multiple solutions, and noneconomic value.
