“…To do so, the proliferation of biorefineries is needed due to their potential for converting waste biomass into value-added products and their capability to reduce waste, increase resource efficiency, and create new revenue streams [3]. Even though biorefineries still face some problems that are being studied to be solved [4,5], there are many technological advances that allow the development of biofuels or value-added products based on a large variety of sources such as microalgal [6,7] and seaweed [8], lignin [9], rice straw waste [10] or food waste [11], among others.…”

(1) Background: Bioeconomy aims to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources and foster economic growth through the development of new bio-based products and services. Achieving this goal requires social acceptance and stakeholder engagement in the development of sustainable technologies. The objective of this data article is to provide a dataset derived from a survey with a representative sample of 500 citizens over 18 years old based in the Community of Madrid. (2) Methods: We created a questionnaire on the social acceptance of technologies and bio-based products to later gather the responses using a SurveyMonkey panel for the Community of Madrid through an online CAWI survey; (3) Results: A dataset with a total of 82 columns with all responses is the result of this study. (4) Conclusions: This data article provides not only a valuable representative dataset of citizens of the Community of Madrid but also sufficient resources to replicate the same study in other regions.

“…Some 97% of the case studies (38 out of 39) considered the environmental dimension in their scope. The use of life cycle tools for a CBE repeated the tendency of using LCA in other sectors where the environmental dimension of sustainability is always the most explored, followed by the economic dimension and, in last place, the social dimension [67,68]; this trend is even repeated in the bioeconomy [15] despite the recognized necessity of assessing social topics and applying SLCA in a bioeconomy and CBE [69].…”

“…Finally, the inclusion of environmental issues has been increased in LCT studies for a CBE in recent years; on the contrary, economic and social elements remain widely disregarded [15]. The inclusion of LCC and SLCA in LCT studies is necessary for providing a complete view of the entire impact of CBE [57] and offering consolidated suggestions to decision-makers [59].…”

“…A recent review [14] reported the use of LCA to inform the development of a CBE. This study focused on the challenges of LCA to be implemented on CBE, arguing that a critical challenge for the bioeconomy is to improve the efficiency of conversion processes maintaining the compatibility across several sustainability indicators, and public acceptance [15], confirming the importance of the inclusion of social sustainability into the bioeconomy and, thus, the assessment of all the dimensions of sustainability in CBE activities.…”

Life Cycle Thinking for a Circular Bioeconomy: Current Development, Challenges, and Future Perspectives

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The circular bioeconomy (CBE) is an increasingly popular method used to add value to bio-based products. However, these products entail impacts on sustainability that can be assessed by life cycle thinking (LCT). Therefore, this manuscript aims to describe the current development of using LCT for a CBE and to identify challenges and future perspectives with regard to this topic. A systematic literature review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), analyzing a final portfolio of 57 documents. The results indicated that the use of LCT for a CBE is very recent and has been increasing over the years, is concentrated in Europe, and mainly assesses the conversion of biowastes in biofuels through biorefinery processes, considering mostly environmental concerns, by applying life cycle assessment; thus neglecting economic and social issues. The use of system boundaries, software, databases, and impact assessment methods was reviewed. Five challenges were revealed (the expansion of system boundaries, the consideration of more endpoints, the development and use of regional databases, the development of policies to encourage CBE, and the addition of economic and social issues. Future perspectives will be aimed at considering microalgae, wastewater, and animal biomass in CBE processes, developing more value-added bioproducts and biofuels, and adding cost assessment and more circularity to CBE processes.

Keamanan lingkungan pada suatu daerah merupakan hal yang sangat penting dan menjadi tanggung jawab masyarakat di daerah tersebut, serta tentunya tidak lepas dari peran pemerintah di dalamnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan keamanan lingkungan di Desa Sambirejo Timur melalui digitalisasi dan partisipasi masyarakat. Meningkatnya tingkat kriminalitas seperti geng motor, tawuran, dan pencurian telah menimbulkan kekhawatiran yang mendalam di kalangan warga. Penelitian ini mengembangkan aplikasi pelaporan keamanan AMUR, yang memungkinkan pelaporan insiden secara real-time dan anonim, serta melaksanakan kampanye sosial untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan teknologi digital dapat meningkatkan respons cepat dari pihak berwenang dan mengurangi tingkat kriminalitas di desa. Penelitian ini juga menekankan pentingnya sosialisasi dan edukasi untuk penggunaan aplikasi yang lebih efektif. Kontribusi penelitian ini terhadap ilmu pengetahuan dan praktik sosial terletak pada penerapan teknologi dan kolaborasi komunitas dalam menciptakan lingkungan yang aman dan harmonis.
