The circularity of the bioeconomy is related to the sustainable valorisation of bioresources. Organic wastes (OW) are increasingly becoming a valuable resource and have the potential to significantly spur the transition towards a sustainable and circular bioeconomy. Important progress has recently been realized to produce new value-added products and energy from different kinds of OW feedstock. There is still a large potential in exploitation of waste and side streams in specialised high value circles. To accomplish this bioeconomical circularity, larger research and innovation efforts are still required and more cross-sectoral collaboration is needed, both on the local, regional and international levels. The entire economy must be involved and a wide range of policy instruments must be employed for the transition process, including systemic change as well as a better regulation and governance.

基于有机废物的生物经济的机遇与挑战
生物经济的循环性与可持续发展有关生物资源的增值。有机废物(OW)正日益成为一种宝贵的资源,并有可能极大地推动向可持续和循环生物经济的过渡。最近已经取得了重要进展,可以从各种OW原料生产新的增值产品和能源。在专门的高价值产业中,在废物和副流的开采方面仍有很大潜力。为了实现这种生物经济循环,仍然需要更大的研究和创新努力,并且需要在地方,区域和国际各级进行更多的跨部门合作。整个经济必须参与其中,并且在过渡过程中必须采用广泛的政策手段,包括系统的变化以及更好的监管和治理。
