摘要 :

The concept of the circular economy has emerged as a transformative strategy for
addressing global sustainability challenges by promoting resource efficiency, waste
minimization, and closed-loop systems. Biorefinery, as a core technological enabler, plays a
pivotal role in turning this concept into practical and scalable solutions. This presentation aims
to explore how circular economy principles can be realized through biorefinery practices, with a
particular emphasis on the valorization of industrial by-products from the craft brewing industry.

Craft breweries generate significant volumes of nutrient-rich waste streams, such as spent
grain, yeast, and process water. Traditionally regarded as disposal burdens, these side-streams
present untapped potential for resource recovery. In this talk, I will present practical case studies
and recent research on how these biomass residues can be transformed into high-value products,
including bioplastics, enzymes, organic acids, and functional ingredients, through integrated
bioprocesses.

Key strategies covered include the development of scalable fermentation platforms,
microbial engineering for value-added compound synthesis, and system integration for energy
and material recycling. The presentation will also highlight the collaborative frameworks
established between academia and industry to support technology translation and market-driven
innovation.

By demonstrating the application of circular economy principles in a familiar and relatable
industry context, this talk aims to showcase how biorefinery not only provides a technical
pathway for sustainability but also fosters new economic models aligned with environmental and
social values. The insights shared will be relevant to researchers, industry stakeholders, and
policy-makers seeking practical approaches to implement circular economy strategies through
biotechnological innovation.
