The mission of the B4C Network is:
Contributing to a circular economy with innovative approaches, through conducting research projects, organizing professional events, and producing scientific publications which will support the smooth transition to circularity across the bio-based value chain.  

The B4C Network seeks to expand its existing partnership with recognized partners in order to emphasise joint contributions towards more circular systems, in support of strengthening the scientific knowledge base and international collaboration and provide supporting evidence for improved policy making. 

To this end, close collaboration will also be sought with various national and international institutions as well as industries working in field of bio-based solutions and circularity. The network will also contribute to the improved integration of bio- and circularity-based solutions in research, supporting professionals about the many interrelations this topic naturally offers.
