To do this, the WG3 has launched a survey of our members to identify needs and expectations. At the same time, WG3 is set to define and implement an extranet platform, which is scheduled for the third quarter of 2008 and will make it possible to pool the available information. 

Concerning our member survey, a questionnaire was sent out in late March 2008.
Analysis of the initial feedback highlights the need to create information-sharing tools : a secure platform that could be consulted online (extranet) in addition to the circulation of a quarterly newsletter for the use of R&D and marketing.
Members would like to have access to ample information concerning chemical intermediates, the bio-plastics industry, bio-solvents and plasticizers. This information would incorporate various market-related events (market studies, reports, reviews, etc...), new products, and the technology watch.
