16 Nov 2023 --- Research organization Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft has released a roadmap for building a leading bioplastics market in Germany. The institute’s research finds that critically missing R&D areas and inadequate legislation keep bioplastics economically “unviable.” Bio-based plastics are still a niche area, comprising less than 2% of the plastics market, according to Dr. Anna-Katharina Stumpf, head of central office for Fraunhofer Strategic Research Field Bioeconomy.
