  • Aligning bio-based plastics and EU circular economy objectives for packaging

    Members of the Rethink Plastic Alliance and supporting organisations are calling on the European Commission to critically reassess the study on bio-based plastics, as part of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, which does not provide a sufficiently balanced basis for future policy development.

  • Call for experts – Circular, bio-based construction products

    ECOS is looking for experts in the field of circular bio-based construction to represent and defend environmental interests in the development of standards and related policies. Our experts provide us with technical and scientific input and represent ECOS in standardisation processes and multi-stakeholder discussions.

  • The million-euro question: do bioplastics truly ensure environmental benefits?

    Bio-based, biodegradable and compostable plastics are currently under the European Commission’s spotlight. Whether or not they actually bring genuine environmental benefits is the question the Commission is trying to answer with several important policy measures that are meant to regulate bio-based, biodegradable and compostable plastics (or BBP/BDCP for short).
