He is regarded as one of the world s leading experts in his field. 7

8 Further contribution from: Constance Ißbrücker (Germany) holds a degree from the University of Jena, Germany, specialized in macromolecular and bioorganic chemistry. Before joining European Bioplastics in 2013, she worked in different research groups at universities in Berlin and Jena where she gained valuable experience in the modification and analysis of polysaccharide derivatives and the synthesis of chiral amines by biocatalytic processes. In 2016, she has been promoted to Head of Environmental Affairs at European Bioplastics and is, among other things, responsible for the Product Groups Biobased and Biodegradables and the Seedling trademark. Kristy-Barbara Lange (Germany) is Deputy Managing Director at European Bioplastics and responsible for regulatory affairs. She manages the EUBP Working Group Regulatory Affairs and together with Hasso von Pogrell represents EUBP s members interests vis-àvis the European institutions. She joined EUBP in 2010 after working for several years in international PR-agencies with a focus on the industry sectors infrastructure and (renewable) energy. Her clients comprised Swiss natural gas pipeline builder Nord Stream and Norwegian solar panel manufacturer REC. She holds a Master degree in Political Science from Heidelberg University, Germany. Hasso von Pogrell (Germany) has been Managing Director of European Bioplastics since March Upon completion of his education in Germany and a two-year term of military services, he studied Economics at the University of Cologne where he graduated in He began his political career as a lobbyist in 1995, when he joined the Germany Industry Association for Optical, Medical and Mechatronical Technologies. There he was responsible for public relations and economics. After a two-year stint as General Manager at the Federal Association of the German Medium and Large Retail Enterprises, he returned to the industry sector. As Head of Department for Foreign Affairs at the Association of the German Construction Industry and Assistant Director of the European International Contractors (EIC), he served the construction industry for seven years from 2000 to He directed the affairs of the Association of the German Sawmill Association as its Managing Director between 2007 and Stefan Zepnik (Germany), Fraunhofer UMSICHT 8
