Bioplastics Ranking January 2020

Conclusions

January was a calm month with few corporate news. Bio-on was the most visible company and Nodax was the most visible brand. Bio-on made the news due to their legal situation.

3 American companies (NatureWorks, Dupont, Danimer Scientific), two Italian companies (Bio-on, Novamont) and two Finnish companies (Neste & Stora Enso) are in the top 10. You could say that the bioplastics industry is lead by Americans, Italians and Finns.

NatureWorks is back in the top 10. NatureWorks CEO (Rich Altice) is one of the most discreet CEOs of the bioplastics leaders.

ALPLA made the biggest jump in popularity, mostly due to their recycling activities.

The most popular brands were Nodax, Mater-bi, I’m Green, Rilsan, Cellophane and Ingeo.
