Insights of Bioeconomy: Biopolymer Evaluation Based on Sustainability Criteria

Abstract: Sustainable development in the agriculture sector can be boosted by integrating a sustainable bioeconomy and transforming renewable resources into added-value products. There are various methods to determine, measure, and compare the extent of sustainability. We promote the bioeconomy concept by utilizing agricultural waste in biopolymers considering the sustainable development in the agriculture sector. This research aims to evaluate biopolymer alternatives based on sustainability criteria and indicators usin… Show more

“…However, the evaluation of the social impacts of technological innovations, and the integrated consideration of all the three dimensions of sustainability are far less practiced [10], [11]. This is in contrast to many other sectors, where overall sustainability assessments to support decision making are more widespread, such as in biopolymers [12], bioenergy [13], [14], energy policy [15], passenger transport [16] or mineral extraction [17].…”

“…Catalysts 2024, 14, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 26 various modification techniques to tailor their mechanical [15,16], thermal [17,18], and barrier properties [19,20] to specific applications [21][22][23][24]. Overall, the adoption of biopolymers presents a promising pathway towards achieving sustainability goals while catering to diverse industrial and societal needs [25]. Among natural biopolymers, chitin stands out as the second most abundant natural polymer on Earth (only after cellulose, the principal component of plant cell walls and the most abundant source of renewable polysaccharides on Earth [26]).…”

“…Alternative biomass is used in different industries: e.g., agriculture, pulp and paper, and chemical. Based on the principles of the bioeconomy, different types of alternative biomass (such as wood (WB) [5], agricultural waste (AW) [6], [7], municipal solid waste (MSW) [8], and algae (Alg) [9]) can be used primarily to produce a product with added value. According to the biomass value pyramid [10], [11], the use of biomass for energy generation corresponds to low added value [12].…”
