Abstract

Starting from automobile manufacturing, the Lean system has reached almost all major sectors like pharmaceutical, construction, apparel, aeronautical, banking, healthcare, etc. However, the Lean principles have not been widely applied in bioeconomy. In this note, the author has tried to highlight this opportunity, especially in the context of circular bioeconomy.


Introduction

Lean and Circular Bioeconomy
Lean philosophy inspires organizations to move towards excellence through continuous improvement. It aims to simplify processes to make them more dynamic and adaptable to any changes. Lean tools help to identify and eliminate waste (Islam, 2023a; 2023b) and promote a culture of continuous improvement within the entire organization (Sa et al., 2023).
