In her diploma thesis, Florentine von Brunn analyzes the market of biopolymers using scenario technique with the approach to identify possible developments in the future. Biopolymers are in this context defined by the type of manufacturing, meaning that they comprise plastics that are made from renewable resources instead of oil as declining feedstock.
