Bio-based paints represent only a small share of the paints and coatings market as a whole. 90 % of all bio-based paints are used in the segment decorative/architectural coatings. Bio-based is on everyone's lips and continues to be highly topical. Most of the coatings from renewable raw materials are still more expensive than the previously used raw materials. The EC Technology Forum Bio-based Coatings will take place on 22-23 October in Berlin, Germany. www.european-coatings. com/Events/EC-Technology-Forum-Bio-based-Coatings
