Starch Europe

Starch Europe, representing the European starch industry, welcomes the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) and its objective of strengthening Europe's industrial competitiveness and accelerating decarbonisation. The sector operates 70 biorefineries in around 20 Member States, processing approximately 10% of EU wheat, maize and potatoes into essential food, feed and industrial ingredients, with EUR 9-10 billion in…

Starch Europe contribution ETS heat and fuel fallback benchmarks: improving comparability (20262030 and Phase 5) Starch Europe supports the EU ETS as a central instrument for industrial decarbonisation and recognises the role of benchmarks in incentivising efficiency while preserving protection against carbon leakage.

Europe already possesses commercial-scale biomanufacturing infrastructure. Starch biorefineries are among the most mature examples, converting EU-grown raw materials primarily wheat, maize and starch potatoes into food and feed ingredients, fermentation feedstocks, bio-based materials, chemicals and other industrial products.

The European starch sector welcomes the development of a post-2030 renewable energy framework that strengthens the EUs energy security, competitiveness and decarbonisation. As an energy-intensive, trade-exposed sector and a key pillar of the European bioeconomy, starch production requires a coherent, predictable and cost-efficient policy framework that enables the uptake of renewables while ensuring the efficient…

Starch Europe welcomes the European Commissions evaluation of Directive (EU) 2019/904 on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment (SUPD). This exercise provides an opportunity to assess the Directive in light of implementation experience and developments in related EU legislation.

Starch Europe, The European Starch Industry Association, would like to take the opportunity of this call for evidence to comment on Directive 96/53/EC. As an active member of the Primary Food Processors (PFP), Starch Europe fully supports the PFP position provided in reply to this call for evidence. In particular, we would like to highlight an issue regarding cross-border transport.

Starch Europe is the trade association representing the European starch and starch derivatives industry. Its members include the 30 leading starch-producing companies in the EU, which together account for over 95% of the sector with a market value of 9.2 billion .

Starch Europe represents the European manufacturers of starch, starch derivatives and co-products. As an industry processing over 20 million tonnes of EU-grown raw materials yearly (principally wheat, maize, starch potatoes, barley, rice, and peas), our existence depends on the success of the European farming sector. Therefore, we strongly share the objectives of supporting farmers' profitability and livelihood.
