The Role of Plant Resources in the Circular Economy:Ecological,Econo-mic,and Social Values
As global resource pressures intensify and environmental issues worsen,the circular economy nas gar-nered widespread attention as a new model for economic development.The circular economy emphasizes the max-imization of resource reuse and waste reduction,offering significant ecological,economic,and social benefits.This study investigates the application of plant resources within the circular economy using soybeans,corn,sorghum,and rapeseed as case studies,exploring their multidimensional values.It also analyzes the main chal-lenges faced in promoting the recycling of these plant resources,including the maturity of technology,market ac-ceptance,and insufficient policy support,and provides corresponding policy recommendations.The study con-cludes that strengthening international cooperation,technological innovation,and diversified utilization pathways are crucial.This research will provide policy and practical references for the sustainable use of plant resources in the circular economy,facilitating the achievement of circular economy and sustainable development goals.
