The bioeconomy is emerging as an important sector for society to address the appropriate sustainable management of finite natural resources (Dietz et al., 2018; Richter et al., 2025). There is a commensurate pressing need to understand and communicate its purpose across other linked strategic policies, in order to effectively develop, scale and regulate new eco-innovation (Ubando e et al., 2020; Rowan, 2025; EU Bioeconomy Strategy 2025). Notwithstanding this, it is appreciated that there are multiple interpretations of the circular economy that can potentially cloud stakeholder understanding of its importance and value for society. For example, Tan and Lamers (2021) noted that “there are over 100 definitions of circular economy that principally means different things to different people”. Therefore, it is of pressing importance to simplify and to demonstrate tangible viable bio-based products (and technologies) emerging from the circular economy to effectively inform broad stakeholders including policymakers using appropriate communication channels.
