Multiple Paths to a Circular Bioeconomy

Caption

The figure at left represents multiple pathways to reduce, recycle, and reuse waste in a circular economy; the figure at right represents multiple pathways to produce inputs, food and energy products in a bioeconomy. Together, they show the interconnections among the pathways to reduce, recycle, and reuse waste and to convert unavoidable waste and other biological resources to bioproducts that displace fossil fuels.
