DownloadsThe new nova-Institute’s market report commissioned by the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) shows macroeconomic effects of the European Bioeconomy in the period from 2008 to 2019. Using data from Eurostat and, where required, nova-Institute’s estimated bio-based shares, turnover and employment numbers of the bioeconomic sectors have been calculated. Even though the latest numbers no longer include the UK, the EU’s bioeconomy turnover remained stable, which has resulted in an increase of around 25% since 2008.
This graphic shows the overall turnover and employment of the bioeconomy and its bio-based industries in the EU-27 in 2019.

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.

DownloadsRohstoffe werden knapp, sowohl Metalle wie auch Mineralien. Nur erneuerbarer Kohlenstoff ist praktisch unbegrenzt verfügbar. Daher werden Kunststoffe in Zukunft noch wichtiger sein als heute, und deshalb müssen sie so nachhaltig wie möglich gestaltet werden: aus erneuerbarem Kohlenstoff und voll recycelbar.

licenceNatural PHAs are a class of materials that exist in nature for over millions of years. These materials are both bio-based and biodegradable, similar to other natural materials such as cellulose, proteins and starch. Natural PHAs are produced by an extensive variety of microorganisms through bacterial fermentation. Due to its high performance, biocompatibility, biodegradability and green credentials, the PHA family has a large design space and accommodates a wide range of market applications, as a broad variety of different polymers can be produced and blended. The potential of PHAs is enormous.
The report is a must-read for all those interested in the very latest in PHAs, as developers, producers or, above all, users. The information on the companies described has been checked with each of them and is state-of-the-art for February 2022.
Author of “Mimicking Nature” is Prof. Jan Ravenstijn, who has been working intensively on the topic of PHAs for 20 years, is the author of numerous publications and co-founder of the PHA industry association GO!PHA (www.gopha.org). The report is a joint publication of GO!PHA and nova-Institute (www.nova-institute.eu). -

Kunststoffe sind wichtiger denn je für eine nachhaltige Zukunft. Alle Technologien stehen zur Verfügung, um Kunststoffe umweltfreundlich zu gestalten und im Kreislauf zu fahren. Wie können wir die Gesellschaft wieder davon überzeugen, dass eine Welt mit den richtigen Kunststoffen komfortabler, ressourcenschonender und klimafreundlicher sein wird als ohne?

DownloadsThe good practice catalogue is the result of the collection and evaluation of good practices of the circular economy from the work of the project WoodCircus. 26 good practices are showcased, divided into four different categories:
- Circular economy concepts;
- Efficiency and processing;
- Reuse and recycling and
- Waste and side stream utilisation. Each good practice is presented with an individual fact sheet describing the focus on the technology or process, regionality and transferability, and highlighting particular strengths with respect to the circular economy.

The result is a rating system with the 13 social, economic and environmental indicators, which was used to compare practices in the wood sector and develop a catalogue of good practices. This document describes the 13 criteria in detail and provides an example of their application.

DownloadsToday, the various biocomposites can be easily used in a wide range of applications and have reached the mass market as an alternative to conventional plastics. The annual growth of biocomposite granulates has been estimated be 5 % by nova-Institut for 2020 to 2028 (CAGR). What are biocomposites? Basically, any material that consists of natural fibres or particles and a binder (e.g., polymer, resin) can be called a biocomposite. Biocomposites are a collective term for natural fibre-reinforced materials that are partly or entirely of biogenic origin. The report shows a full list of all biocomposite granulate producers in Europe.

DownloadsEine Transformation der Wirtschaftsweise mit nachhaltigen, biobasierten Methoden eröffnet der Industrie einmalige Chancen für den Strukturwandel im Rheinischen Revier. Doch wie genau sehen die Beschäftigungseffekte, Umsätze sowie die Relevanz regionaler Industrie-Sektoren für eine biobasierte Wertschöpfung im Einzelnen aus?
Das nova-Institut hat im Auftrag der Strukturwandelinitiative BioökonomieREVIER hierzu eine Studie vorgelegt. Sie beleuchtet qualitative und quantitative Potenziale der Industrien in der Region. Diese erste Bestandsaufnahme zeigt, dass die regionale Sektorenvielfalt förderlich sein wird für die Etablierung neuer, branchenübergreifender Wertschöpfungsketten.
