Open the document Sustainable Biomass for Bioplastics Biobased plastics remain a strategic pillar of Europe’s Bioeconomy vision and help in decoupling economic growth from fossil resources, building a more resilient Union. The EU’s Bioeconomy Strategy vision for 2040 envisages that products such as sustainable biobased plastics would be widely used in the EU, playing [...]
Open the document European Bioplastics, within the framework of the BLUECOAT project, has recently organised an online workshop on Sustainable Materials for Coatings, featuring contributions from four outstanding expert innovators and EU-funded projects. The workshop was held on 14 April 2026 and is the second of 10 online events to collect input from [...]
Open the document The transition from a fossil-based to a renewable, biobased economy is vital for the long-term resilience, competitiveness and strategic autonomy of Europe. It is also of essential importance if the European Union wants to achieve its goal set in the European Green Deal to become climate neutral by 2050. This transition requires [...]
Open the document The transition from a fossil-based to a renewable, biobased economy is of essential importance if the European Union wants to achieve its goal set in the European Green Deal to become climate neutral by 2050. This transition requires the collaboration of the materials and manufactured products sectors, and, in particular, the [...]
Open the document Millions of tonnes of biowaste, particularly urban organic food waste, inundate European waste management systems yearly. However, approximately 60% of this resource currently finds its way to incineration or landfills, resulting in significant environmental and economic losses. At the workshop held on 16 October 2024 at European Bioplastics in Brussels, [...]
Open the document Achieving EU Green Deal Goals - How bioplastics contribute to a climate-neutral future The European Green Deal sets out the Union‘s ambition to become climate neutral by 2050 in all sectors of the economy, including chemicals and materials. For all sectors, the Deal sets out a roadmap that aims to [...]
Open the document To increase the amount of plastics based on renewable resources on the market and decrease dependence on depletable feedstocks, such as crude oil, the mass balance approach is a complementary step that can be necessary for a fossil-free future. In line with ISO 22095, the mass balance approach is a [...]
Open the document European Bioplastics (EUBP), the association representing the interests of around 80 member companies from the entire bioplastics value chain, welcomes the Commission’s proposal for a revised Regulation on Packaging and Packaging Waste (PPWR). At EUBP, we believe that our innovative materials can contribute to achieving the proposal’s objectives through the [...]
Open the document The bioeconomy holds the potential to provide innovative biobased materials and packaging solutions to ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of the EU packaging sector while decoupling economic growth from the use of fossil-based resources. Despite the ambitious climate neutrality target declared in the Green Deal, the Commission’s proposal for a [...]
Open the document In 2022, the European Commission adopted a policy framework on the sourcing, labelling and use of biobased plastics, and the use of biodegradable and compostable plastics. The policy framework was announced in the European Green Deal, Circular Economy Action Plan, and Plastics Strategy with the aim to contribute to a [...]
