Bio-based circular economy

The EU Plastics Strategy and the European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy set the pathway to the reduction of the use of plastics in various applications, especially packaging, and sets specific targets for the use of recycled and/or bio-based plastic solutions towards 2030.

In that context, bio-based and compostable solutions are desired features when it comes to packaging, especially for food contact (fruit & vegetable) ones, since many times the packaging material contains food remains which makes it almost impossible to recycle. The new generation of bio-based compostable products are the solution for the organic waste collection streams, together with the food waste, in order to be composted, thus diverting it from landfill or incineration. We consider bio-based circular solutions to be the best option in terms of environmental, economic and societal sustainability.
