The aim of this paper is the analysis of the technological and environmental advantages coming from the benefit of Bio-based polymers applied to the sector of cosmetic packaging, through a project of a new start up based on production of bioplastics for that sector.</p><h2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2></div> ER -
