Overview
Founded in 2014 in Lanklaar, Limburg, B4Plastics develops and manufactures bioplastic materials as alternatives to fossil-derived plastics. The company, led by founder and CEO Stefaan De Wildeman, focuses on materials that can meet performance requirements for industrial and consumer applications while being produced from renewable feedstocks.
B4Plastics operates in the materials innovation segment of the circular economy, a sector receiving growing attention as plastic pollution regulation tightens across the EU and brand owners seek credible alternatives to conventional plastics. The Limburg location connects the company to Flanders' manufacturing base.

- As we all move through these times, one certainty glooms within each of us: fossil times are temporary. Many initiatives and ventures have prepared for a turning point. The EU Bio-based Alliance will now further boost the momentum, and unlock the massive potential. We are so proud to be one of the early-bird members! Our #greenteam is here to help showing new ways to a safe and sustainable future in the way we make and use totally new bio-based materials. For all who lead and follow in this transition, old and young: “Enjoy the
- Today, we are launching the EU Bio-based Europe Alliance! 🌱 Over 100 stakeholders have already joined as we are bringing together 🔸buyers, 🔸suppliers and 🔸national & regional authorities committed to accelerating the uptake of European bio-based solutions. Why? The struggle for many bio-based companies is to transition from research and demonstration to commercial deployment due to low product visibility and weak market demand. This changes now. The EU Bio-based Europe Alliance aims at providing clearer market signals,

- For a moment, the Sun steps aside. This Wednesday, the Moon will pass between us and the Sun, covering almost 90% of it here in Belgium and 100% in other parts of the world. For a brief moment, the light fades. The temperature may dip. And millions of people will simply… look up. There is something humbling about events like this. A reminder of how small we are in a universe that keeps moving and how extraordinary the planet beneath our feet actually is. 🥵 The eclipse won’t stop global warming. But perhaps, for those few
