Vision for a Circular Bio-Society

03/06/2019
REPORT

A Circular Bio-Society

BIC and fifteen organisations set out joint Vision for Europe’s bioeconomy future – a circular bio-society

This Vision "The circular-bio society in 2050" will establish a sustainable and competitive bio-based industry in the EU enabling a circular bio-society by 2050. In this circular bio-society, informed citizens choose a sustainable way of life, supporting an economy that couples economic growth with societal well-being and respect for the environment.

The Vision focuses on four key drivers:

1. Foster food security for a growing world population and meet its demand for sustainable products
2. Contribute to a sustainable planet
3. Create jobs and growth in the circular bioeconomy
4. Achieve a circular bioeconomic society

This Vision is the result of the collective input from by the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) and its members, the Bio-based Industries Joint-Undertaking (BBI JU) advisory bodies: the States Representatives Group and Scientific Committee, and the following organisations:

European Bioeconomy Alliance (EUBA) and its members:
Confederation of European Forest Owners (CEPF);
Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI);
European Association for Bioindustries (EuropaBio);
European Association of Sugar Manufacturers (CEFS);
European Bioplastics (EUBP);
European Farmers and European Agri-Cooperatives (Copa-Cogeca);
European Renewable Ethanol Producers Association (ePURE);
European Starch Industry Association (Starch Europe);
European Vegetable Oil and Protein Meal Industry (FEDIOL);
Forest-based Sector Technology Platform (FTP)
and Primary Food P rocessors (PFP)
European Agricultural Machinery Industry (CEMA);
European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic);
European Technology Platform ‘Food for Life’;
European Technology Platform for Sustainable Chemistry (SusChem)
The Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) was also consulted in this process.
