BioPlastics Europe

Developing and implementing sustainability based solutions for bio-based plastic production and use to preserve land and sea environmental quality in Europe. BIO-PLASTICS EUROPE will deliver sustainable strategies and solutions for bio-based plastics to support the EU-Plastic Strategy and promote circularity in the economy. We are not only a research project, but also an intervention which takes into account the transformations triggered by a new awareness of bio-based plastics. We believe in a participatory research and innovation process. We are engaged in innovative product design, the development of health and safety standards, end-of-life solutions as well as environmental and economic product life cycle assessments. Furthermore, we aim to develop business models for the efficient reuse and recycling of bio-based biodegradable plastics, ensuring the safety of recycled materials for both the environment and the society.
