Cleaner and Circular Bioeconomy

Cleaner and Circular Bioeconomy (CLCB) is an international, cross-disciplinary companion journal to Journal of Cleaner Production that publishes original full-length research articles, perspective and reviews to promote a cleaner and circular bioeconomy. CLCB provides an interdisciplinary platform to promote research in sustainable production of bio-resources, their cleaner conversion into food, feed, bio-based products, bioenergy and other goods, and circulate biowaste and bioproducts at the end of their life cycles. The platform provides researchers from natural science, social science, engineering, agriculture, business, politics, and many other disciplines to share their discoveries, insights, technologies, solutions, and best practices to promote a bioeconomy for global and regional sustainability. Innovative and interdisciplinary works that can make societal impacts are highly encouraged.
