Delivering the bioeconomy agenda for 2024 and beyond

Industry players and EU institutions need an absolute focus on meeting the bloc’s climate and circularity targets. The bioeconomy, bio-based and bio-derived products contribute to most of these ambitions, as well as to the overall defossilisation of society. The coming years will be critical to accelerate their development and market uptake. The EU agenda must visibly include them in the actions to deliver the climate and industry transition.

BioChem Europe: Supporting a strong cascading use principle for biomass

Biomass-derived chemicals are defined as chemical products that are wholly or partly derived from materials of biological origin – e.g. biomass. While biomass is often associated with renewability, it is important to recognise that these resources are limited and can be exhausted over time. implementing a cascading principle for the use of biomass is of outmost importance.
