Introduction to the Circular Bioeconomy

The 21st century marks a significant transition toward a circular bioeconomy, as society gradually moves away from fossil fuel dependence and explores the potential of renewable resources. This shift extends beyond energy production to encompass the fundamental materials that construct our world—from buildings and infrastructure to common household items. Envision a future where our problematic reliance on fossil fuels evolves into a sustainable relationship with renewable carbon sources, utilizing nature's resources to create a healthier and more climate friendly way of life.
