Abstract
Development of the bioeconomy is one of the strategic tasks introduced in The Polish Circular Economy Roadmap and National Smart Specialization. The food sector is one of the most important and fastest growing branches of the Polish economy. 10.5% (1.7 million) of all employees employed in industry are involved in it. The increasing demand for eco-friendly products and packaging and at the same time focusing of the EU policies on carbon neutrality and ensuring resource and energy efficiency in a holistic approach creates new challenges and opportunities for food and beverage sector. Most of the companies start to analyse the economic and environmental impact from a value chain perspective to identify the environmental “hot spots” and value added from material supply to distribution from store supply to the customer and waste management. The paper analyses challenges and obstacles for turning bio-waste, residues and discards into valuable resources taking into account economic, environmental and social aspects based mainly on an example of Maspex (https://maspex.com/) which is one of the largest companies in the segment of food products in Central and Eastern Europe.
