BBIA Annual Report 2024
As we wrap up the year, we take great pride in reflecting on the progress and achievements of the BBIA. This year has been one of collaboration, innovation, and resilience, and it’s all thanks to you—our dedicated members.
As Trade Associations go, we may be small, but we are mighty, and together, we’ve achieved significant milestones across our four key pillars:
INFLUENCE: We have seen Minister Vallance, publicly state that bio-based and biodegradable solutions are vital for a sustainable future, showcasing the strength of our shared advocacy.
INNOVATE: We secured £550,000 of funding for our Regulatory Science and Innovation Network (BB-REG-NET) to generate evidence to facilitate sound and transparent regulatory decision-making, advancing the bio-based, biodegradable and compostable sector.
CONNECT: This year our membership has over doubled, demonstrating the growing impact of bio-based and biodegradable solutions.
COMMUNICATE: We have simplified our key messages and asks of government and were excited to have a BBIA opinion piece featuring Lord Deben published in the Independent.
These successes are a testament to the power of unity and the invaluable contributions each of you brings to our shared vision for a more sustainable future, where the UK is a global leader in developing, manufacturing, using and exporting bio-based and biodegradable solutions.
Thank you for your support, passion, and commitment. You are the foundation of our success, and we are honoured to represent such a forward-thinking and inspiring community. Here’s to another year of growth and impact in the bio-based sector!
