Discover a new good practice from our CEE2ACT online inventory! 🌿 Advancing Circular Bioeconomy in Andalusia 🌿  The Circular Bioeconomy Strategy developed in Andalusia aims to help underdeveloped bioeconomy sectors, providing essential support to ensure their long-term success. By repurposing residual biomass from agriculture, livestock, forestry, and other industries, they transform waste into valuable bioproducts and bioenergy. The approach covers four areas: ✔ Sustainable Biomass Production: Enhancing biomass availability through innovative treatments. ✔ Infrastructure & Logistics: Optimising biomass management and distribution. ✔ Industrial Processing: Promoting bio-based industries and biorefineries. ✔ Market Development: Expanding markets for bioproducts and bioenergy. Supportive programmes focus on communication, R&D&I+F, access to finance, and stakeholder cooperation. ☑ Learn more about this regional strategy: https://lnkd.in/eEPZkytn #CircularBioeconomy #Sustainability #Andalusia #Bioenergy #Bioproducts #Innovation
