In response to the public consultation on the Bioeconomy Strategy, ECN has published a position paper advocating for the recognition of biowaste recycling as a bioeconomy activity. In ECN’s views, clear and effective bio-waste management policy should be implemented at European level. Therefore, the Bioeconomy Strategy should mainly focus on creating markets for secondary raw materials and unlocking new investments, lifting regulatory barriers, and improving acceptance of the use of recycled biobased material in agriculture.

The update of the Bioeconomy Strategy should be presented by the Commission by the end of the year.
