Automotive, electronics, textile Fastest growing sectors!

BIOPLASTICS GROWING FAST!

18% - 22% Current annual growth rate!Europe accounts for close to 50%!

Biobased polymers potential subsitute to 85% of polymers!

+600% 2000 – 2008 increase of biodegradable plastics consumption!

1.7 million Tons Global production capacity by 2015 !

Bags, packaging and film Main sectors today!

Composting & Biogas increase and benefits !

MARKET DRIVERS!

Environmental Between 500 Billion and 1 Trillion plastic bags per year worldwide!North America and Europe account for 80%  !

Corporate Commiments to biosourcing !

Consumer Awareness Demand for sustainable products!

Restrictions / bans on plastic Accelerate shift towards bioplastics!

Innovations bioploymers, process, technical specs!

SHIFTING TOWARDS BIOPLASTICS!

Customers want new products, innovation and sustainability!

•  Supplying biomaterial only = limited chance to succeed!

•  Key players only supply their material portfolio!

•  Industrial partners = limited experience in bio product development!

•  How do I measure the sustainability of an alternative ?!

•  Will it fit my production, use, and end of life management processes ?!
