Bioeconomy is a term which includes the set of activities that obtain products and services, generating economic activity by using biological resources as raw material. The production of these products comes with it the generation of a large amount of waste. Such production is presented as an opportunity under the framework of the circular economy which pursues the efficiency of sustainable resources. (Spanish Bioeconomy Strategy: Horizon 2030)
