EU Bioeconomy Strategy puts bioplastics at the heart of Europe's industrial transition

The Strategy confirms the Commission's vision: replacing fossil-based materials with sustainable biobased solutions, scaling industrial deployment across value chains, and creating predictable demand conditions for innovative materials, including bioplastics. It also embeds biobased plastics within a coherent PPWR architecture, by committing to adopt, in 2027, criteria and targets for biobased plastics— a milestone that can provide much-needed regulatory clarity and long-term investment certainty. We also applaud the approach taken in the strategy to support biobased plastics in complementary with recycled content targets and coherently across sectors and applications.
