DownloadsThe Biomass Utilisation Factor (BUF) is a new metric combining cascading use and production efficiency into one indicator to investigate the circularity of materials for the circular bioeconomy. Cascading use captures the repeated use of the original biomass, either for the same or a different purpose. Production efficiency looks at how much of the biomass input is actually transformed into useful products or materials.
The BUF can serve not only as an indicator for the circular economy principle of keeping materials in use, but also act as an efficient tool for stakeholders and policy makers to identify options that maximize biomass utilisation and keep materials in use for longer. In light of recent political developments in Europe, the BUF can serve as a tool that provides additional insights for achieving sustainable carbon cycles or help to respect the cascading principle of biomass utilisation.

DownloadsThis paper describes a fossil carbon tax as a potential realisation of the planned Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism of the EU. It provides several advantages compared to a CO2 emission tax, such as complexity, carbon leakage, eligibility to WTO rules or taxation coverage of all sectors in the economy. With its focus on the raw material aspect, it is a much simpler and elegant approach than an end-of-pipe solution that looks at CO2 emissions.

DownloadsIn recent years, numerous B2C online surveys and focus group analyses have been conducted to understand what consumers think of bio-based products. It is well known, however, that other methods such as in-depth psychological interviews are better suited to explore deep-seated opinions, prejudices and contexts. This gap is being filled now by the novel approach used in this project. Instead of conducting the umpteenth standard survey, nova-Institute used the expertise of the renowned specialist market research company september Strategie & Forschung (Cologne, Germany) to gather the information needed about the consumer mind set. september is one of Germany’s market leaders in deep psychological market research.
