Strength in numbers as new members join RSB’s collaborative network

RSB’s members represent those on a journey towards a biocircular economy. From producers of next-generation materials to the end-users of these products, from non-profit social organisations to non-governmental environmental organisations, and from high-level public policy institutions to academia and research institutions – they are lighting the way for a global sustainability movement.

Our collaborative network offers a platform for 130 (and counting) innovators, pioneers and leaders to activate their ambition for the just and sustainable transition to a bio-based and circular world. Last year, we had our biggest ever growth in membership, but this year, we’re on track to have an even bigger year, with even more variety across sectors and chambers.

As the saying goes: “There is strength in numbers.”

As our membership community continues to grow, we would like to take this opportunity to welcome a few new faces, and thank them for their commitment to sustainability.
