Abstract
Plastics are increasingly used for all kinds of products. As the world is facing an impending decline in oil production, there is a need to rapidly adopt new materials on a large scale, based on renewable feedstocks. The process of adoption is, however, at an early stage in its development. The volumes of biologically based materials that are available are limited and the volumes of materials that need to be replaced are very large. Despite the urgent need to replace petroleum-based plastics and other materials, many companies that develop new ones find it difficult to find pilot customers. New materials tend to be more expensive and large investments often need to be made in processes in order to utilize the new and innovative alternatives.
