Can bio-based plastic move past the nice story and scale in regulated MedTech?
Tim Wagler is Commercial Director EMEA for Braskem's I'm green bio-based portfolio, polyethylene made from sugarcane instead of fossil feedstock. Braskem just launched an I'm green bio-based medical grade.
In this episode: - What "physical content" bio-based means and how it differs from mass balance - Why fossil prices are spiking and bio-based is no longer the expensive option - The supply and land-use question, and why sugarcane uses 0.03% of Brazil's land today - Why bio-based is not biodegradable, and the claims you can actually make - Where a drop-in bio-based polyethylene fits in medical and pharma
