Bio does not necessarily have to denote low quality or inferior let alone biodegradable. As mentioned in section 10.2.1, polyamides are true high performance polymers, yet seeing that only 5% of the current biopolymer market is served by PA-types it may take a while to modify the public perception and association. In this respect, the title of this chapter has been well chosen. Furthermore, several of the main bio-based polyamide producers have opted to use the trade names originally deemed for their main petro-based polyamides to uphold the notion of high performance, for example Arkema with Rilsan or Evonik with Vestamid (see Table 10.2).
