The Hungarian Biopolymer Association was established in Hungary in 2020 as a professionally based non-governmental organization with the aim of representing biopolymers, their distribution and use in a comprehensible but professionally competent and clear way in society, politics and the media, by taking the principle of sustainable development and circular economy into account. The great advantage of our organization is that the founding members are active in sectors directly related to the lifecycle of biopolymers (agriculture, plastics, waste management) and have extensive professional experience in their respective fields, thus being credible and collectively representing a circular economic model.
