The Bio-economy strategic agenda aims to accelerate circularity in various sectors with renewable bio-based raw materials.

"A sustainable and circular bioeconomy strengthens the connection between economy, society and environment. According to the European Union's Bioeconomy Strategy, a bioeconomy should reconcile food security with the use of renewable raw materials for industrial purposes and the protection of the environment. 
The bioeconomy connects different sectors. The growth of a sustainable circular bioeconomy mutually reinforces our economic prosperity and the health of our environment.
A circular economy seeks to minimise "waste" and allow as little to be lost as possible. It is about maximum recovery of materials and molecules, with energy needs coming from renewable energy. The bioeconomy also adds a biological cycle, where accretion of biological material provides a continuous supply of renewable inputs (for food, materials and energy).
 
The bioeconomy strategic agenda thus covers all actions that put new sustainable uses of organic material into practice. This ranges from innovative landscape management, to valorisation of crop residues, to natural building materials and synthetic production of specialised chemicals."
