The document discusses the European Union's strategy for a sustainable bioeconomy. It defines bioeconomy as an economy using biological resources and waste as inputs for food, industrial, and energy production. The strategy has three pillars: 1) investment in bioeconomy research, innovation, and skills; 2) developing bioeconomy markets and competitiveness through sustainable production and converting waste; and 3) reinforced policy coordination and stakeholder engagement. Examples of research areas include developing bioplastics from forest resources and alternative fish feeds. The strategy aims to create jobs and green growth through more efficient resource use, such as converting food waste to bioenergy.
Bioeconomy: a strategic priority for EuropeBiocopacPlus
SPRING – Sustainable Processes and Resources for Innovation and National Growth is a non-profit Association, born in 2012 in response to the Call of MIUR for the Development and Strengthening of National Technological Clusters. It is proposed as representative and promoter of the national chemical industry from renewable sources, stimulating actions of research, demonstratives of transfer technological divulgation and training in constant dialogue with the stakeholders of the local area (agricultural, industrial, institutional and no profit spheres).
The document summarizes a presentation by David Newman from the Bio-based and Biodegradable Industries Association (BBIA) about developing the bioeconomy in the UK. Newman argues that the UK is not currently a major player in the bioeconomy despite having strong research, infrastructure, and expertise. He outlines three key actions needed to boost the UK bioeconomy: 1) improving waste management and the soil-to-soil loop, 2) implementing green public procurement policies, and 3) promoting behavioral changes through bans, taxes, and incentives. Newman claims these actions could create more jobs, investment, exports and reduce imports, CO2 and waste.
This document provides information on Horizon 2020 and European R&D&I initiatives, specifically for the agrifood sector. It outlines the structure and focus areas of Horizon 2020, including the societal challenges of secure, sufficient food supply and a sustainable bioeconomy. Key areas of research focus are described, such as increasing sustainable production efficiency, developing bio-based industries, and fostering innovation in areas like biotechnology, fisheries, and consumer choices. Public-private partnerships are also mentioned as a form of cooperation to promote industry-relevant research and innovation.
The European Commission has taken several actions to promote resource efficiency and a circular economy among SMEs in the EU. This includes establishing centers to build capacity for SMEs in resource efficiency, providing funding support through Horizon 2020, LIFE, and other programs, and developing standards and guidelines. The Commission's Circular Economy Package aims to close product lifecycles and bring environmental and economic benefits through greater recycling and reuse.
The document summarizes the key points of the European Commission's Circular Economy Package adopted in December 2015. The package includes an action plan with objectives and actions in areas like production, consumption, waste management, and priority sectors. It also includes a legislative proposal on waste that sets new, more ambitious recycling and landfilling targets for municipal waste and packaging waste for 2025 and 2030. The proposal introduces rules for calculating recycling rates and prevention measures.
The EU has adopted an Action Plan for transitioning to a Circular Economy by 2035 that aims to boost economic growth and job creation while reducing environmental impacts. Key elements include legislative proposals on waste management, eco-design standards to increase reusability and recyclability of products, and initiatives to promote recycling of priority materials like plastics, food waste, and biomass. Progress will be monitored using indicators and the plan involves over 50 actions across areas like production, consumption, waste management, and innovation.

The document summarizes anaerobic digestion deployment in the United Kingdom. It finds that as of 2014, there were 157 operational anaerobic digestion plants, with 415 plants under development. Most plants are currently farm-fed or waste-fed. Future deployment is projected to quadruple capacity by 2017 if all plants under development are completed. However, only 30-50% of proposed plants are expected to be realized. Food waste and manure availability may constrain further growth, leading developers to rely more on energy crops which could require over 80,000 hectares of land if all proposed plants are built.

Calestous is a Professor of the Practice of International Development and Director of the Science, Technology, and Globalization Project at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. He also directs the Agricultural Innovation in Africa Project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The document outlines an integrated bioeconomy where various feedstocks such as agriculture, forestry, and municipal waste are processed through extraction, separation, and bioconversion to produce fuels, energy, materials, chemicals, and other products. Key processes involved include mechanical and chemical extraction, microbial and algal bioconversion, hydrolysis using acids and enzymes, and thermal processes like gasification and pyrolysis. The goal is to develop a sustainable biobased economy utilizing renewable resources.
The global demand and supply equation has become increasingly difficult to solve, so new thinking is critical for the sustainable future of the globe. We at VTT believe bioeconomy represents this new kind of thinking. Growing national and global interest in sustainable
development is expected to make bioeconomy an essential part of the economic system in the years to come.
The Bioeconomy is especially important for Finland. It already accounts for about EUR 60 billion of GDP, and a doubling of this amount by 2030 is considered possible. The Bioeconomy does not happen by itself, but it requires a strong will, ambitious targets, and action towards these targets. New technical, societal and business innovations are needed along the way, with science and technology as the key enablers. A successful bioeconomy requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining disciplines ranging from chemistry to design. As a cross-cutting approach it has an effect on the whole of society, linking food security and people´s well-being to the sustainable use of raw materials and natural resources.
VTT forms a platform for an innovation ecosystem attracting industrial and other stakeholders from Finland and elsewhere to make the Bioeconomy happen.
1. Finland has developed a Bioeconomy Strategy to transition to a sustainable economy based on renewable natural resources like forests.
2. The strategy aims to increase bioeconomy output to €100 billion by 2025 and create 100,000 new jobs.
3. Finland is well positioned for this transition due to its forest resources, expertise in refining biomass, and strong industrial base in sectors like forestry and pulp and paper production.
The document introduces a panel discussion on developing a "glocal bio-society" through bioeconomy. It summarizes findings from a web survey on challenges for the future bioeconomy, including the need for sustainable businesses based on resource use, a coherent societal strategy to reduce conflicts over resources, and renewing societal thinking to create a sustainable bio-society. The natural resources strategy of Finland aims to increase value and well-being through high material and energy efficiency and closed material cycles, while ensuring security of supply and local production solutions. The panel will discuss how the forest sector and finding innovative solutions can contribute to these challenges of developing a sustainable bioeconomy.
Sustainable growth from bioeconomy - The forest bioeconomy perspectiveBiotalous.fi
Finland is positioning itself as a leader in the bioeconomy by leveraging its abundant forest resources and expertise across industries. The bioeconomy produces goods from renewable biological resources instead of fossil fuels and aims to decrease dependency on non-renewable materials. Finland's bioeconomy is valued at €60 billion annually and employs 13% of the workforce. The country aims to increase bioeconomy output to €100 billion by 2025 and create 100,000 new jobs by utilizing forests, chemistry, energy, food, and health industries. Forests cover 80% of Finland's land and grow more wood annually than is currently used industrially. Finland is developing new bio-based products from wood including flexible screens, intelligent packaging

It also discusses links to other Horizon 2020 programs and EU policies and initiatives related to SC5 goals.
This document outlines European priorities for resource efficiency, including establishing a circular economy with sustainable management of natural resources, climate services, and nature-based solutions. The priorities aim to promote innovation, economic growth, and environmental protection. Key focus areas are transitioning to a circular economy model for waste, water, and raw materials management, building climate services capacity, and integrating nature-based solutions into urban areas. National contact points will support applicants in applying for relevant Horizon 2020 funding.
The document discusses the role of forest-based industries in the developing bioeconomy. It notes that while paper production is already biobased, the bioeconomy is still in its infancy and has potential to address socioeconomic and environmental challenges. Realizing this potential requires bringing all actors and sectors together to build the biobased sector through investments in R&D, deployment of technologies, and supportive policies. The forest-based industry can play an expanded role by producing current products, supplying biobased building blocks, and developing new products through combinations with other biobased materials.

Balanced and Healthy Production Ecosystems as a Source of Balanced and Health...Sirpa Kurppa
• A basic prerequisite for a balanced production ecosystem is that the reversibility - that is recycling of resources will be taken care systematically and with determination.
• Balance of production ecosystem is easier to maintain if production is as diverse as possible throughout the production area.
• Linkages between production ecosystems, food production and healthiness have traditionally been approached through risk management and ecological footprints, but there may also be similarities between new and more favorable outlook.
• Totally novel information has been recently given by research that studies interaction between microbial habitat of food chain and health and welfare of consumers.

This document summarizes the findings of a project that studied the environmental impacts of different daily food choices in Finland. It found that the production of raw materials has the highest environmental impact, contributing over 90% of eutrophication impacts and around 70% of climate change impacts. Home-cooked meals had lower impacts than ready-to-eat meals. Vegetarian and locally-grown options like beans, lentils, peas, vegetables and fish had among the lowest impacts. The document recommends focusing on plant-based proteins, outdoor vegetables and seasonal food to effectively reduce environmental impacts from food.
This document discusses the potential for public catering in the Nordic region to influence eating habits and promote more sustainable food choices that help combat climate change. It notes that while indicators of nutrition are used, public catering also has a strong role in guiding environmental sustainability. Currently, organic food is promoted, but carbon footprint labeling of individual portions is questionable. Instead, assessing the overall sustainability of a cafeteria's offerings may be better. The production of raw materials has high impact on both climate change and eutrophication, so choices that decrease both are beneficial. Vegetarian options typically have lower emissions than dishes containing meat. Local sourcing of foods in season could allow cafeterias to freeze their carbon footprint to the local ecosystem
The document summarizes the environmental impacts of different lunch plates. Homemade meals have eutrophication impacts ranging from 0.7-3.6 g PO4-eqv and carbon footprints of 700g-3.4 kg CO2 eqv, with the main dish responsible for 28-83% of eutrophication impacts and 35-69% of carbon emissions. Ready-made meals have slightly lower eutrophication impacts of 1-2.1 g PO4-eqv and carbon footprints of 1.5-2.3 kg CO2 eqv, with the main dish contributing 26-72% of eutrophication and 33-54% of carbon impacts.

This document discusses strategies for preserving valuable rural genetic resources through small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) networks. It addresses the tension between global markets dominated by large corporations focused on efficiency and local markets centered around SMEs and cultural heritage. The author proposes a strategic approach that emphasizes regional innovation, niche markets for locally-sourced products, and strengthening local institutions to support ecosystem services and biodiversity through sustainable use of genetic resources. Examples are provided on assessing innovative eco-design products to connect consumers to threatened native breeds and plants in a culturally and environmentally responsible way.

What does sustainable bioeconomy
mean?
• ‘The term "Bioeconomy" means an economy using biological
resources from the land and sea, as well as waste, as inputs to
food and feed, industrial and energy production. It also covers the
use of bio-based processes for sustainable industries.’
Brussels, 13 February 2012 – The European Commission

4. The Strategy has three main pillars:
1) Investment in research, innovation and skills for the bio-economy.
This should include EU funding, national funding, private investment and
enhancing synergies with other policy initiatives.
2) Development of markets and competitiveness in bio-economy
sectors by a sustainable intensification of primary production,
conversion of waste streams into value-added products, as well as
mutual learning mechanisms for improved production and resource
efficiency. As an example, food waste costs the European taxpayer
between €55 and €90 per tonne to dispose of, and produces 170 million
tonnes of CO2. This waste could be transformed into bio-energy or
other bio-based products, creating jobs and growth.
3) Reinforced policy coordination and stakeholder engagement,
through the creation of a Bioeconomy Panel, a Bioeconomy Observatory
and regular Stakeholder Conferences;

5. Research and innovation in the bio-
economy – examples
• 1) FORBIOPLAST - Drawing on forest resources for sustainable
manufacturing - to reduce its dependence on petro-chemicals. - wood-
derived fibres and forestry by-products could replace petro-chemicals in a
wide array of products
• 2) AQUAMAX (FP7) – creating a vegetarian diet for fish -alternative for fish
meal and fish oil
• 3) Future biodegradable materials for a better quality of life (ERC)- eco-
friendly plastic bags - creating of materials that mimic nature’s structural
organization - biodegrade
• 4) Paving the way to greener products and services (JRC). Life cycle
assessment is a key to substantial improvement of the environmental
performance of goods and services - it quantifies the impacts of products
from the extraction of natural resources to recycling or waste disposal.

18. Steps to achieve greater coherence
include:
• Creating a Bioeconomy Panel built on already existing resources and
structures, that will involve relevant European Commission services,
Member States and stakeholders to ensure synergies and coherence
between policies, initiatives and economic sectors. Encourage the creation
of similar panels at Member State and regional level.
• A Bioeconomy Observatory at EU level will be established to assess the
progress and impact of the bio-economy in Europe and to inform further
policy making. The Observatory will build on existing systems at regional,
national and supra-national level and develop common indicators for
measuring bio-economy activity.
• Support the development of regional and national bio-economy strategies
by providing a mapping of existing research and innovation activities,
competence centres and infrastructures in the EU (by 2015).
• Foster participation of researchers, end-users, policy-makers and civil
society in an open and informed dialogue throughout the research and
innovation process of the bio-economy.
