The Biodegradable Plastics Association (BPA) is a specialized lobbying firm dedicated to promoting oxo-biodegradable plastic technology. Their mission is to provide authoritative information to help enhance understanding of this technology and its potential environmental benefits. BPA advocates for the recognition and certification of oxo-biodegradable products within the EU legislative frameworks, aiming to contribute to reducing plastic waste and protecting the environment. The association actively engages with EU institutions, aiming to influence policies and regulations on plastics, waste management, and sustainability, particularly under directives such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive and Single Use Plastics Directive. BPA focuses on creating transparent certification standards and educating stakeholders about the differentiation between biodegradable and conventional plastics, supporting the Circular Economy goals of the EU. Since its registration in the EU Transparency Register, BPA has positioned itself as a key player in lobbying for sustainable bio-based alternatives, working closely with scientific bodies and industry entities to advance its agenda, thereby shaping future standards and practices related to plastic degradation and environmental impact within the European Union.
