Andy Sweetman (Futamura), Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Van Gansberghe (Futerro), Myriam Moeyersons (Ingevity), Robert Mack (Kimberly-Clark), Jack McKeivor (TotalEnergies Corbion) and Erwin Lepoudre (Kaneka) are also members of the new Board, with the latter serving as the Treasurer.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first time in EUBP\u2019s history that a board elects two Co-Chairs to lead the association. Mariagiovanna Vetere and Franz Kraus were already chairing EUBP together in the last months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year is a year of tremendous change. Externally, the stage for a more resilient and sustainable Europe will be set by a new Parliament to be elected this weekend and a new Commission to start its mandate before the year is over. Internally, we will continue on the transformative journey which we had started last year, with a new office opened in Brussels, a new team and a new corporate identity. We are at a crossroads, and I am delighted to help guide the association in these exciting times that hold both challenges and opportunities.\u201d, says Franz Kraus, Co-Chair of European Bioplastics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been involved in the Board of EUBP for eleven years. My passion and dedication for this industry has increased continuously, and now, more than ever before, we witness a shift in mindset. The bioeconomy is finally being part of conversations at the highest political level, and EUBP is willing to drive the growth of the bioplastics sector in Europe. I am thrilled to be re-elected as Co-Chair of EUBP, where I hope to continue to inspire and lead the change.\u201d, said Mariagiovanna Vetere, Co-Chair of EUBP.<\/p>\n<p>From left to right: Andy Sweetman (Futamura), Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Van Gansberghe (Futerro), Erwin Lepoudre (Kaneka), Jack McKeivor (TotalEnergies Corbion), Myriam Moeyersons (Ingevity), Robert Mack (Kimberly-Clark), Afsaneh Nabifar (BASF), Franz Kraus (Novamont) and Mariagiovianna Vetere (Natureworks).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European Bioplastics, the association representing the interests of the bioplastics industry in Europe, has elected a new Board&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39389,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,16],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-39388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-plas-tv-meldungen-auf-der-startseite-unterhalb-slider","category-plast-tv-textmeldungen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39388"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39388\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39390,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39388\/revisions\/39390"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/39389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39388"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fseries&post=39388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
