SUSTRACK’s mid-term policy brief: policy priorities to support the sustainable transition and examples of good policies

This policy brief discusses which barriers exist that need to be addressed through new policies and policy improvements to support the transitioning to a Circular Biobased Economy (CBBE). It summarises what the limitations are of the linear fossil-based economy, it then discusses how it has become embedded in the EU policy. In the last sections the current barriers are highlighted in relation to the transition to a CBBE to provide an understanding where the policy opportunities lie to tackle these barriers. At the end it presents the approach as to how in SUSTRACK policy opportunities are to be identified that address the different barriers of transition to a CBBE.
