Green, closed loop, circular bio-economy
Achillas, Charisios (ed.); Bochtis, Dionysis (ed.) - 2021
In recent years, bioeconomy strategies have been implemented and adapted internationally. In the bioeconomy, materials are to a certain extent circular by nature. However, biomaterials may also be used in a rather linear way. Lately, a transition towards a circular economy, a more restorative...
