The envisaged circular economy requires absolute carbon efficiency and in the long run abstinence from fossil feedstocks, and integration of industrial production with end-of-life waste management. Non-conventional feedstocks arising from industrial production and societal consumption such as CO and plastic waste may soon enable manufacture of multiple products from simple bulk chemicals to pharmaceuticals using biotechnology. The change to these feedstocks could be faster than expected by many, especially if the true cost, including the carbon footprint of products, is considered. The efficiency of biotechnological processes can be improved through metabolic engineering, which can help fulfill the promises of the Paris agreement.
