In addition to reducing and recycling, biobased plastics are an essential part of sustainable and circular plastic chains. It is therefore not without reason that biobased plastics are part of the new National Circular Plastics Standard. 

Possibilities of biobased plastics

On this market day, where supply and demand for biobased plastics come together, we present the current possibilities of biobased plastics. Next to that, this market day offers plenty of network opportunities. 

Important parts of this market day are presentations by experts from Wageningen Food & Biobased Research, pitches from producers of biobased plastics, an introduction to our research and development facilities and networking sessions. We will also inform you on how to get started with biobased plastics yourself and which subsidy options are available.  

This event is made possible by ChemistryNL and the top sectors Agri & Food and Horticulture & Starting Materials.
