biorenewable
Explanation:
Bio-renewable Chemicals Emerge as the Building Blocks of the Chemical Industry, Finds Frost & Sullivan
19 Mar 2009 - The change from a non-renewable to a renewable feedstock base in the chemical industry is accelerating. This is not only due to the increase in the prices of non-renewable feedstock but also because of the growing ability of certain microorganisms to yield higher productivity of the desired chemicals.

biorenewable


Explanation:
I could not find the term "bioregenerierbar" in any reference works, but assuming that this term describes organic materials that can be reproduced through biological means (e.g., agriculture), I would suggest "biorenewable."
