BIOECONOMY
Bioeconomy means operating sustainably – if possible without fossil raw materials and without producing waste, modelled on natural cycles.
Biobased
Plants, animals, microorganisms and their products provide resources – for food and materials such as medicines, bioplastics or fuels.
Cycles
Renewable ressources, but also plastics or rare metals, are to be efficiently recycled. Tailor-made biocatalysts, for example, can help here.
Added value
Bio-based products do not simply replace conventional products, but sometimes have additional properties: for instance aircraft wings made of artificial spider silk would be lighter and would save fuel.
