The Plant Based Products Council (PBPC) advocates for a shift toward a more circular bioeconomy through greater adoption of renewable, plant-based materials supported by appropriate end-of-life infrastructure. PBPC is a premier issues advocacy organization, working tirelessly alongside policymakers to advance growth of the plant-based products industry.
While other organizations represent interests related to plant-based foods and biofuels, PBPC specifically focuses on plant-based products, including bio-based plastics, textiles, and ingredients.
