Our research focuses on the development, processing and industrial use of bioplastics and bio composites

Areas of expertise: material development, material analysis, process engineering, circular economy (recycling and marine degradability of biomaterials, usage of residual materials, design for recycling), sustainability analysis of biomaterials, knowledge transfer

() What are the forecasts for the current bioplastics market? With the new edition of its brochure "Biopolymers - facts and statistics 2024", the IfBB publishes a comprehensive overview of the market.

() The modelling of biogenic carbon in life cycle assessments has always been a topic of contention amongst experts internationally. The Biogenic Carbon Project by the Life Cycle Initiative hosted by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) uses an expert-led multi-stakeholder approach which aims to develop a set of recommendations for the modelling of biogenic carbon in life cycle assessments.

() The IfBB will be represented twice in Hall 2 at Hannover Messe 2024: In the FNR's Bioeconomy theme park at A35, the institute will be demonstrating how bioplastics can also be used successfully in high-temperature applications in the automotive sector. And at A10 of the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture, the IfBB will be presenting how the sustainable design of products can be promoted in order to establish more eco-design products on the market.
