The dataset comprises the findings of an online survey that aimed to assess awareness levels and perceptions related to the bioeconomy, biobased solutions, products, and nutrient circularity practices among a diverse group of stakeholders, including consumers. The results indicate notable variations both across the targeted countries and among different key-stakeholder groups. Concerning awareness and perceptions of bioeconomy development and biobased products and solutions, the primary challenges and requirements seem to revolve around economic factors, such as the lack of investments and limited access to essential finance. However, other significant determinants also play a role, including the absence of appropriate policy and regulatory frameworks governing the bioeconomy sector and issues pertaining to stakeholder engagement, particularly concerning a lack of relevant awareness.
