EU Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik has highlighted the crucial role bioplastics play in Europe‘s transition towards a circular bio based economy at the 8th European Bioplastics Conference last week.
The latest bioplastics industry developments and progress, environmental communication and recycling were just some of the topics explored at this year’s European Bioplastics Conference.
The European Commission has published a communication on industrial policy stressing the belief that biobased products will help to trigger sustainable growth and business opportunities.
With cosmetic and personal care consumers increasingly demanding more environmentally-friendly packaging, a new initiative is giving more impetus to a certification programme for compostable packaging like bioplastics.
