European Renewable Resources and Materials Association
The importance of renewable materials

Renewable resources including vegetable oils, starch, sugar and cellulose can be converted using a range of technologies into many bio-based products.  These include biopolymers, biolubricants, biosurfactants, speciality and platform chemicals, composites and construction materials.  These products can give advantage to the companies that produce and use them - including novel functionality and green credentials.  They can also offer a number of benefits to policy makers at national and EU level including the development of innovative markets in which Europe can play a leading role.

ERRMA has the role of bringing together national centres of expertise in the field of renewable materials and informing industry and policy colleagues in Europe about the real possibilities provided by renewable materials.  Read more about our objectives, activities and partnerships on this website.
