Six leading associations and stakeholders from the chemicals, polymers and plastics sectors \u2013 namely BioChem Europe (a sector group of Cefic), EDANA, EuropaBio, European BioPlastics, GO!PHA and Renewable Carbon Initiative) \u2013 express in this letter their specific concerns about the proposed definition of \u201cnatural polymers\u201d and its impact on biopolymers in the context of the REACH restriction on microplastics.<\/p>\n

Under the coordination of the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/a> they ask the European Commission in a letter \u201cthat in the adoption of the text of the Synthetic Polymer
