We are at a crossroads and I look forward to leading the organisation in these exciting times, which offer both challenges and opportunities.\u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>Franz Kraus<\/strong>, Co-Chairman of European Bioplastics<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is the first time in the history of EUBP that a board has elected two co-chairs to lead the association.
