In Germany, in joint effort to offer transparency to EU stakeholders, nova-Institute has worked with European Bioplastics and Plastics Europe to provide the bioplastics production data for the year 2022. The data is based on the nova-Institute polymer production data and adapted to EUBP’s bioplastics scope.
Applications include: Agriculture and horticulture, automotive and transport, building and construction, consumer goods, electrics and electronics, functional, flexible and rigid packaging, fibres, and others.
European Bioplastics does not include data on cellulose acetate, EPDM, epoxy resins and polyurethanes based on their bioplastics scope.
On top of EUBP’s comprehensive market data report on bioplastics production capacities released every year at the beginning of December, and in collaboration with nova-Institute and Plastics Europe, EUBP will now also release this production data, which shows that 86% of the production capacities have been reached in 2022.
