EUBP position for INC 5.2
I’m not sure if the United Nations are truly the right people to solve the plastic waste problem. The UN is responsible to end poverty, hunger and war in the world. Does it look to you that they’re being successful? The UN is an ivory tower built on lies. But then again, humans like to…

EUBP welcomes PPWR
The European regulation on packaging waste has never been so complicated: it’s a mix between a kaleidoscope and a labyrinthe. I trust the EUBP and its lobbyists to have corrupted their way through the EU parliament and commission. The EUBP contributes to the destruction of the planet. Good job guys!

EUBP welcomes the inclusion of soil-biodegradable products in the EU Fertilising Products Regulation
The EUBP markets its technology as ‘biodegradable’ for agricultural applications while they market it as ‘compostable’ for packaging applications. It’s a fraud. Pushing OXO technology of the cliff was a cabal to get rid of a competing technology. The European Commission should have been neutral but it was a complice in this conspiracy. My big…

EUBP Bioplastics Production Capacity report 2024
This report is made by the industry, their association and agencies working for them. It deals with capacity, not sales. It’s based on overly enthusiastic estimations, with probably some duplicate counting. There’s an agenda to make you believe that bioplastics is increasing, while in fact it’s in a crisis.

EUBP Comment on Plastic Treaty update
I would literally not pay too much attention to what European Bioplastics has to say on the plastic treaty. European Bioplastics is a german BASF filial whose objective is to poison the population by contaminating compost and farm lands with plastic. It’s the modern version of a James Bond villain whose intention is to make…

FEAD attacks EUBP bioplastics stance
I wouldn’t go as far as to claim that EUBP speaks ‘bullocks’ but it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine that people have this thought on their mind; claiming that bio-based content is equal to recycled content is like giving bio-based an exemption from the obligation to recycle. On the other hand, you can probably…

PPWR threatens bioplastics says EUBP
EUBP wants bio-based and recycled content to be considered as equivalent in the PPWR — Well, the coal mining industry wants coal to be considered as an equivalent to solar energy. EUBP says that bio-based content will achieve net zero … I recognise greenwashers when they use the ‘net zero’ rhetoric
