Phase 1

• To engage researchers, policymakers, farmers, and circular-economy businesses to recognize barriers to a circular bioeconomy in Germany.

• Highlight knowledge gaps in feedstock supply, recycling incentives, and product-design standards that hinder system change. Bring together regional bioeconomy hubs, NGOs, and industry associations for short workshops and fact sheets.

• Use targeted webinars and local pilot showcases to spark cross-sector dialogue and shared learning.

Phase 2

• Publish concise “Circular Bioeconomy Starter Notes” that stakeholders can sign as a non-binding pledge to test one small change (e.g., design-for-recycling trial, feedstock swap, or local take-back scheme).

• Encourage adopters to post one simple metric monthly (tons of biomass reused, products redesigned, or collection points added) on a shared portal.

• Create a short how-to template for replication and a public log of lessons learned to encourage visibility and scaling.
