This webinar asks a simple but pointed question: are bio-based materials —those made wholly or partly from renewable biological feedstocks such as plants, agricultural residues and microbes — hype, hope, or the genuine future of the way we make things?
The session cuts through the confusion around “bio-based,” “biodegradable,” and “compostable”; examines the realities of performance, cost, feedstock and scale-up; and explores what needs to happen across policy, industry and consumer behavior for bio-based solutions to deliver on their promise of a lower-carbon, more circular economy.
