During its first year of implementation, significant progresses have been made by ACR+ member Pays de la Loire in the 4 strategic axes of its regional action plan for a bio-based circular economy. First, actions have been carried out to raise awareness among civil society and the private sector by organising events and regular meetings with the stakeholders. Second, the 2020 regional call for circular economy projects awarded 8 projects in the field of bioeconomy. Third, a steering committee of elected representatives of the Regional Council validated in July 2020 the creation of a regional bioeconomic strategy by mobilizing the departments concerned. Lastly, progress has been made in the setting up of a doctoral thesis to look for the potentialities of the circular bioeconomy in the region from a territorial metabolism perspective.
