What are the regulatory requirements for the use of bio-based plastic in food packaging?

There is an increasing interest in biopolymers – polymers that are made of natural sources and/or that are biodegradable. Using biopolymers as food contact material, e.g. packagings, can save scarce oil sources and may contribute to a solution for a circular economy and  the reduction of single use plastic. However, the approval of such new biopolymers by authorities shows several challenges. We have the experience to support you with building a convincing case.
