Bioplastic production is a small but fast growing sector in the global bioeconomy, which may benefit from public support measures future as governments seek to promote more sustainable consumption patterns. Here we assess potential net economy-wide impacts of 5% bioplastic target relative current plastic main producing regions. We compare two alternative policy strategies achieve general equilibrium framework that allows for substitution between conventional and bio-based plastics: subsidy...

Pastureland maintenance is seen as a land-based measure to reduce dependency on feed concentrates and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock production in the EU, while providing other ecosystems services. This paper assesses potential market-mediated impacts, including global Land Use Change (LUC) GHG emissions, increased subsidies pastureland-based sectors EU. A tax recycling strategy (TRS) simulated against baseline up 2030 under shared socioeconomic pathway 2 (SSP2)....

The European forestry sector is a potential driver of transformation towards sustainable bioeconomy. Forest products are increasingly used in high-tech and high-value-added industries, e.g., chemicals the automotive industry. So far, however, research on bioeconomy has largely focused agriculture as provider food, feed, fuel, fiber to bio-based industries. Here we assess impacts stronger reliance inputs Union (EU28) output, prices, final demand, land use. Specifically, run sensitivity...

Bioplastic production is a small but fast growing sector in the Bioeconomy despite so far limited policy support. We simulate expansion of bioplastic supply towards 5% target relative to current total plastic consumption leading producing regions. introduce fossil-based plastics and bioplastics GTAP 9 database, coupled greenhouse gas (GHG) indicators; then two scenarios, where scenario 1 subsidizes consumption, while 2 increases taxes on fossil plastics. Both alternatives promote production,...

We provide a sensitivity analysis of 1% increase intermediate input use forestry biomass in all sectors the EU28 global Computable General Equilibrium framework depicting land by Agro-Ecological Zone combined with rather high resolution regard to and regions. find considerable indirect effects outside despite small shock which reflects existing integration markets. conclude that policies promoting EU need consider these offset, for instance, first order GHG savings from substitution fossil...
