What is Bioeconomy Week Scotland 2024?
Bioeconomy Week Scotland 2024 is a week of events and activities devoted to celebrating the innovative, biobased, solutions being discovered and developed in Scotland.
What is the bioeconomy?
The bioeconomy is an important, and growing, part of Scotland’s economy. It uses natural resources and biological processes to improve the sustainability of all sorts of products from cosmetics and toiletries, to clothes, packaging, and building materials. It also supports the development of new therapeutics and medicines, finds innovative ways to use waste materials, and is contributing to lowering the carbon footprint of everything from food and drink to car batteries.
