A successful circular bioeconomy calls for business models intentionally designed circularity, and there is a lack of archetypes Business Models Circular Bioeconomy (BMCBE). This paper aims to identify describe overarching (BMCBEs) (i.e., archetypes). To that end, systematic literature review (29 core papers) practice (32 organizations in 4 continents) were conducted. Seven BMCBE identified: Optimising resource efficiency use; Establishing biorefineries; Value recovery from waste; Resource exchange; Innovation towards bio- renewable resources; Valuing the local economy, and; Service- result-oriented value offers. Key insights point most recurrent practices companies revolving around waste (present 26 cases) resources (13), which can lead range environmental benefits. offers are limited should be further explored relation feasibility The presented pave way future research supports practice, as starting opportunities engage with bioeconomy.

Agribusiness ranks second as the sector with highest greenhouse gas emissions linked to methane, constituting a crucial challenge for global sustainability. Although its impact on climate change is considerable, small rural farmers do not have effective technologies manage organic waste derived from their daily activities. In this context, anaerobic digestion an innovative solution that converts into biogas and biofertilizers, promoting sustainable circular approach. However, implementation faces significant barriers due inadequate designs poor operational practices, which makes adoption difficult in areas. This applied theoretical research seeks overcome these by improving design operation of small-scale plants. The system studied operates at 70% capacity, hydraulic retention time 20 days feed 4 kg matter. substrates considered were 30% bovine manure, achieving average production 63.75 L CH4/kg matter, exceeded usual yields biodigesters.
