NOTES
- This ranking is based on website statistics of BioplasticsNews.com for the period 1 – 31 March 2020.
- Not all companies are equal in size.
- Some companies are only active in bioplastics while others are also active in traditional plastics.
- Not all companies produce the same type of bioplastics (PLA, PHA, Bio-PE, etc).
- Not all companies have the same marketing budget (multinationals vs startups).
- Not all companies have the same place in the bioplastic value chain.
- Some companies did an excellent marketing job in the past and can still reap the fruits today.
- We combine company names and brands: some brands are known by their company name, some companies are known by their brand names.
- The Visibility Ratio ratio shows how the top 20 compare to the leader. In other words, if the first company gets 100 % per cent, how much do the other companies receive compared to the first. It shows clearly that:
- Bio-on’s marketing efforts have been efficient.
- Novamont and BASF are above the pack.
- Corbion, Avantium and Neste were very close.
