Definition
The acronym ValBio stands for 'Valorization of Bioresources’.
This perhaps somewhat unwieldy term describes an important pillar of the bioeconomy: namely, realizing sustainable economic activity by establishing material cycles with intensive use of renewable biological resources.
ValBio is thus an essential building block on the way to a sustainable circular economy with closed material cycles of, for example, carbon but also other important elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, or metals from electrical engineering and electronics using biotechnological processes.
