Bioplastics: A Strategic Pillar of a Circular, Regenerative, and Competitive EU Bioeconomy
As the EU revises its Bioeconomy Strategy, EUBP is calling for actionable policies to unlock the full potential of bioplastics as a key enabler of a circular, regenerative, and climate-neutral economy. Bioplastics, made from renewable carbon and/or offering circular end-of-life options, are a vital alternative to fossil-based materials. EUBP urges the EU to recognise bioplastics as a strategic pillar [...]
Agricultural Biomass: Fuelling the Shift to Biobased Plastics
To meet the EU’s climate neutrality target by 2050, a transition from fossil-based to biobased materials is essential. A key player in this shift is the bioplastics industry, which leverages agricultural biomass, such as corn, wheat, and sugar beet, to create sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics. The use of biobased feedstocks for material production reduces the dependency on fossil [...]
