Aligning the supply and value chain is one of the greatest challenge towards developing new materials, technology and construction of a biorefinery. In this webinar Futurity will talk through their unique approach to collaboration and demonstrate the importance of bringing together key players within the value and supply chain to facilitate adoption of materials for end consumers.
Social impacts (both positive and negative) are currently not addressed in REDII and EU national legislation. However, the public debate shows a keen interest in social issues for all supply chains, including biomass production and processing. Social risks are specific to local and regional conditions. How can we learn from the experience of other supply chains to find a practical and impactful way to address social risks and promote benefits?
