European Bioplastics (EUBP), the association representing the bioplastics industry in Europe, is pleased to announce the appointment of Roberto Ferrigno as Head of EU Affairs, said Plasticker.
He assumed his position on 1 January 2023 and will be based in Brussels. He will also head EUBP’s new Brussels office to be opened on 1 February 2023.
European Bioplastics and its members are happy to welcome Roberto Ferrigno as part of the EUBP team. Bioplastics have become an increasingly important topic in the debate of the European Union’s efforts to achieve its ambitious climate goals. “Roberto perfectly fits into the EUBP team, into this group of proven experts when it comes to biobased and compostable plastics” says Stefan Barot, Chairman of EUBP.
“He’s already been working within the bioplastics industry for a long time and brings with him many years of experience in Brussels. I have no doubt that he is the right person to represent our industry’s interests in the capital of Europe at this crucial time”, he adds.

"Beginning on 30 January, Teijin... has started producing and marketing biomass PC resin products containing bisphenol A (BPA) made from biomass naphtha that was tracked with the mass-balance approach as well as the conventional PC resin products using petroleum-derived raw materials," the company said in a statement.
