The circular bioeconomy is emerging as a new concept within the scientific community, which is attempting to help create sustainable economic development. The general aim of circular bioeconomy is to obtain sustainability through reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery practices using bio-based resources. Recovery of nutrients from secondary sources is a key way to address the increased demands on resources by an exponentially rising world population growth. Wastewater is a source of nitrogen, phosphorous, and other nutrients necessary for various industries. Microalgae when harnessed with technology are considered to enable to recover nutrients from wastewaters through processes of growth and biomass production. This chapter describes the overview of bio-circular economy using microalgae, the potential of using algae-based technologies for resource recovery from wastewaters and making a circular bioeconomy viable. Challenges and future perspectives of these technologies are also explained.
