Dear readers,
As you may have noticed, this month’s European Bioplastics Newsletter was a little bit delayed. In order to be able to cover the latest developments related to the proposed new rules on packaging and bioplastics adopted by the European Commission yesterday, we decided to postpone the publication of this edition. If you have any questions, comments, or interesting news or topics to share, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Enjoy the read!
Kind regards from the European Bioplastics team
