BBIA Managing Director David Newman has been interviewed by hospitality industry website Footprint on the role of bio-based and biodegradable materials in a more sustainable foodservice sector and the government’s upcoming Bioeconomy Strategy.

In the interview, Newman explains the opportunities that biodegradable materials present for foodservice packaging, as well as some of the barriers that need to be overcome. BEIS’s Bioeconomy Stategy could provide a big step forward in this, much needed in the wake of China’s ban on waste plastic imports.
