Info

A bio-age offers several advantages over an oil age,including the opportunity to reduce greenhouse gasemissions and enhance energy security through a moveaway from dependence on fossil fuels. The challenge ishow to capitalise on the large-scale conversion of biobasedresources in ways that do not adversely affect thesustainability of the world’s food supply.The emergence of a bio-age contributes to the opportunityto create a circular economy through innovation for flowsof resources from and back into the biosphere. Successin the circular economy depends in part on this innovation.Innovation around the use of bio-based resources willincreasingly find pathways to extract the highest possiblevalue from flows from the biosphere as well as findingpathways to safely return resources to the biosphere.– The bio-basedeconomy is takingshape around us.18/73PORT OF ROTTERDAM / RABOBANKPATHWAYS TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
