Due to increasing governmental, public and industrial interest in the area of bio-based and degradable plastics, the BPF felt the need to establish an authoritative voice within it's membership. The BPF Bio-based and Degradable Plastics Group was established in January 2009.

Benefits of Membership

The Group is currently working towards;

• Seeking a consensus between the manufacturers and users in the sector as to;
  • Which materials fall into this category and how they can be defined and described
  • What are their properties
  • What are benefits
  • Delineate the potential for their use
     
• Providing a basis of authority, within the BPF, on these materials and products so that they can be correctly represented to stakeholders in industry, government, the media, user industries, standards organisations as well as to the consumer.
   
• Establishing a Code of Conduct for Members of the Group
