A jointly commissioned study on bio-based plastics has been published by European Bioplastics and EPNOE (European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence). Forecasts concerning capacity developments and technical substitution potentials are the focus of the investigations carried out at Utrecht University New bio-based polymers have been available in the market for approximately one decade. Recently, standard polymers like polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC or PET, but also high performance polymers like polyamide or polyester have been totally or partially substituted by their renewable raw materials equivalents.
