With the Business Directory for Innovative Biomaterials (BIB’09), a review of the total market of biomaterials is available for the first time. It focuses on companies that produce or distribute biomaterials and products made from these. The 166 pages book, presenting 50 companies and actors from six countries, was introduced to the public on 3<\/b>rd <\/b>of December 2008 on the occasion of the international congress \u201cRaw Material Shift & Biomaterials\u201d in Cologne. <\/b><\/p>\n
According to estimates by nova-Institut, already more than 400,000 t of biomaterials are used in European production \u2013 with a potential of several million tons. But biomaterials are still sharing the fate of all innovative market newcomers: They do cause high investments and their diversity is little known amongst decision makers from industry and politics as well as consumers. It is precisely at this point that the BIB’09 comes into play, for the first time presenting an up-to-date review of companies active in this sector and other actors.\u00a0 With the BIB\u201909, nova-Institut, the Agentur for Communication Scheben Scheurer & Partner (SSP) and the University of Applied Science Bremen (Faculty 5, BIONIK) as initiators and publishers are providing a joint platform for biomaterials. These have been gaining increasing market success for about five years and are about to establish themselves also in mass markets, based on special applications.<\/p>\n
The term \u201ebiomaterials\u201c has been used for only a few years and covers a multitude of biobased materials. Biomaterials are materials based on agricultural resources \u2013 completely or to a relevant degree. Typical agricultural resources \u2013 in this context also called \u201crenewable raw materials\u201d \u2013 are starch, sugar, straight vegetable oils and cellulose (from wood, natural fibres, straw) as well as special biomolecules such as lignin or natural rubber. The share of these agricultural resources in the material shall amount to at least 20%. Typical biomaterials are bioplastics, natural fibre reinforced plastics (NFRP) and woodplastic composites (WPC). \u201cNew\u201d or \u201cinnovative biomaterials\u201d \u2013 in contrast to traditional biomaterials such as chip boards and core boards \u2013 are usually processed by means of modern plastics techniques such as extrusion, injection moulding, deep drawing or film blowing.<\/p>\n
All manufacturers and suppliers included in the BIB’09 are currently offering biomaterials and respective products in relevant amounts on the market. In addition to manufacturers, also raw material suppliers, mechanical engineering companies, associations and research facilities that are active in the wide field of biomaterials have been included in the BIB’09.<\/p>\n
