Jörg Dörrstein is the CEO of a German company called Biofibre, which is developing sustainable plastic solutions out of renewable raw materials, ensuring that those resources do not compete with food production. Jörg tuned in from South of Germany to talk with us about the potentials but also complex challenges of industrializing bio-based plastic solutions.

We uncovered some myths about bio-based and biodegradable materials and talked about adopting new perspectives to lead us from the current non-sustainable plastic age into a future where we are able to tune the biodegradability of the materials that we produce. Understanding that the entire world is made out of biopolymers is one of such perspectives.
