In the Algoland project, microalgae are used to clean water and air from industry.This is built on a long standing collaboration between research, industry and society.In this way Algoland supports the transition to a circular economy read more by turning pollution into biomass and potential products.This paper evaluates the potential for microalgae as an ecosystem service in industries from a circular economy perspective.
The business model canvas was used in a workshop with stakeholders and researchers to discuss the challenges and opportunities for an industrial platform.Results showed that the established canvas model needs to be complemented by circular models; in order to read more be able to include ecosystem services.In this paper a circular canvas model is developed to be used in similar approaches.
