Circular Bioeconomy in Muensterland
Discovering new circular value chains
The project Circular Bioeconomy Münsterland aims to highlight the wide range of potential uses for regional biogenic raw materials and waste materials. To this end, the resources available in the Münsterland region are being analysed, and new circular value chains are being identified and assessed from an economic perspective.
Along these new value chains, the aim is to bring companies together and facilitate collaboration in order to utilise regional raw materials and residual materials as efficiently as possible. This will create new opportunities for the region and lay a solid foundation for the further development of the circular bioeconomy in the Münsterland region.
