The bioeconomy is a hot topic these days, right up at the top of policy agendas. It involves using renewable natural resources as a raw material. The circular bioeconomy introduces circularity into this concept: using what would otherwise be thrown away, using spent biological resources to regenerate ecosystems and minimising waste.
The ECESP website has a good selection of circular bioeconomy-themed content. This series will shine a spotlight on it.
Circular bioeconomy concept: a match-making platform for innovative materials, including bio-based ones
MaterialDistrict connects material manufacturers and distributors with creative professionals and provides designers with information about materials.
It divides materials into the following categories:
- Plastics
- Other naturals
- Wood
- Metals
- Glass
- Coatings
- Ceramics
- Concretes
- Natural stones
There are listings for each material, with tags such as “biobased”, making it very easy to find a circular bioeconomy-related material. Manufacturers and suppliers can promote and sell their goods, and creative professionals can look for the material that is right for their project.
