Others may be based on misunderstandings or oversights.<\/p>\n<p>The new nova paper #9 aims at highlighting the most important aspects related to bioeconomy and circular economy, clarifying some common misconceptions and addressing limitations we need to consider on our way to a \u201cCircular Bioeconomy\u201d. For this, the paper will first illustrate the different concepts of \u201cbioeconomy\u201d, \u201ccircular economy\u201d and \u201ccascading use\u201d and will then delve into their relationships to each other: What are the overlaps between the concepts, what are the<br \/>\ndifferences? How can one contribute to another and where can we use synergies?
