A new policy brief looks at what upscaling bio-based chemicals and plastics in the EU could mean by 2040:
๐ญ๐๐ผ๐Upscaling bio-based chemicals and plastics in the EU could mean โฌ148bn turnover by 2040 (vs โฌ68bn baseline) and +230,000 jobs.
The evidence is there, from this brief and our lead markets reports. Now we need the policy framework to unlock it.

๐ญ What happens after a CBE JU-funded project ends?
Our publication Across the two valleys follows 8 completed projects: ๐ถ investment, ๐ญ expanded capacity, ๐ products reaching the market & ๐ replication.
CBE JU helps #biobased innovators cross the two โvalleys of deathโ.
๐ฌ How can we make bio-based polymers more circular?
Join the #BIOPOLYCluster on 28 October for insights on chemical recycling, thermoset reprocessing and ecodesign from #POLYMEER, #POLYMERS5B and @furious_CBE.

๐ค #POLYMEER and @flexizyme join forces!
We are teaming up to strengthen knowledge exchange and communication around more sustainable bio-based value chains.
Both projects share a goal: valorising renewable side streams and reducing reliance on fossil-based production routes๐ฑ

๐ขNew synergy
Weโre excited to connect with @POLYMEERProject !
A great opportunity to exchange knowledge, share experiences and strengthen connections across the European #bioeconomy community!
From waste to bioplastics, hands-on! ๐งช
At #EuropeanResearchersNight2026, #POLYMEER and @furious_CBE invited visitors to explore how biomass and waste can become bio-based polymers through an interactive activity at @UniperugiaNews .

The #BIOPOLYCluster is at #IFIB2026! ๐ฑ
Assunta Marrocchi (#POLYMEER) and Debora Puglia (@furious_CBE) are in Rome presenting our joint poster on four complementary pathways to high-performance bio-based polymers.
Come and meet us!

What we donโt see is everything behind it.
A cheaper product is not always the one that costs less in the long run.
