Get Insight: What role does the plastics industry and consumers play in the shift toward bioplastic produced with biotechnology?

On June 18, 2025, the B-Trust project will host its 7th Masterclass on Bio-based Materials, exploring how bio-based materials are perceived by industry and consumers in comparison to traditional fossil-based materials. The session will provide valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges of introducing bio-based plastic products on the market.

The session will feature a balanced view from Alexander Röder, who will share how Plastics Europe believe bio-based plastics can contribute to transforming the plastics system in Europe. A company testimonial from Novo Nordisk will provide an industry perspective on the practical application of these products. Finally, findings from B-Trust’s co-creation sessions will be presented, offering valuable insights into how different stakeholders, like consumers and industry, perceive these biotechnologies.

About B-Trust

Food & Bio Cluster Denmark is a partner in the EU-funded B-Trust Project in which we offer you a series of masterclasses.

"The effective application of biotechnology in agri-food and biobased sectors – think of microbial protein, cultivated meat, production of milk components using micro-organisms, biodegradable plastics, …-  plays a crucial role in building a sustainable European future. B-Trust wants to contribute to the valorisation and implementation of these groundbreaking technologies by focusing on building consumer trust and broader stakeholder acceptance. Tackling trust related hurdles is as critical as addressing technological, economic and regulatory challenges, in view of delivering impact at scale with these biotech solutions." –  Flanders’ FOOD, Project Coordinator
