Performance and quality expectations, cost competitiveness (short term profits) and infrastructure barriers are some of the barriers-to-entry for (smart) drop-in bio-based chemicals. BBIA argues is worth the effort! #chemicals #biobased #sustainable #barriers

Why bio-based chemicals and materials face a higher entry to market bar than fossil incumbents – and why they deserve the effort
BBIA highlights the potential for bio-based chemicals to reduce greenhouse gases and emphasises the UK’s opportunity to lead in this sector.
