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.

Home composting of Bioplastics
Home composting is a private gardening practice that allows individuals to transform their kitchen and garden waste into valuable compost for personal use. While not considered recycling under EU law, it plays a valuable role in reducing the amount of organic material entering traditional waste systems.
