\"CEThe Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), Europe\u2019s leading industry association putting innovation, circularity and sustainability at the heart of the European bioeconomy, applauded the publication of the European Commission\u2019s new Circular Economy Action Plan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Circular Economy Action Plan demonstrates the core role for the bio-based sector in the implementation of the EU\u2019s Green Deal\u201d<\/em> says Dirk Carrez, BIC Executive Director. \u201cThe bio-based solutions we provide pave the way for a bio-based society constructed on the foundations of circularity and sustainability and not finite, fossil-based resources.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The bio-based industries, already recognised as pioneers in providing sustainable and circular solutions, stands ready to assist the European Commission in achieving the Action Plan\u2019s objectives across several policy areas.<\/p>\n

For instance, the sector is already actively putting alternative bio-based and bio-degradable products on the market. The proposed EU Strategy for Textiles also presents opportunities for Europe\u2019s flourishing bio-based textiles sector, which is based on using sustainably sourced biomaterials such as wood cellulose, biobased fibers and other sustainable alternatives.<\/p>\n

At the same time, while the bio-based industries are already proactively valorising industry\u2019s side and residual streams, the sector also enables the valorisation of bio-waste by transforming it into bio-based products and materials.<\/p>\n

The realisation of the next public-private partnership for the bio-based industries \u2013 \u2018Circular Bio-based Europe\u2019 \u2013 and the effective implementation of the EU\u2019s Bioeconomy Strategy will, nonetheless, be crucial for guaranteeing the bio-based industries proactive role in providing these sustainable, bio-based solutions that make the EU\u2019s Circular Economy Action Plan truly circular.<\/p>\n
