BIOPOLYMERS AND BEYOND
BIOPOLYMERS AND BEYOND – Renewable carbon sources as a perspective for sustainable plastics
Look forward to two exciting and informative days at the conference "BIOPOLYMERS AND BEYOND – Renewable Carbon Sources as a Perspective for Sustainable Plastics," organized by BioBASE. The event will address key topics such as:
- Current regulatory developments (e.g. chemicals regulation, sustainability reporting, EU Green Deal)
- Available renewable raw material potential (biomass or CO₂)
- Innovative technological production processes
- New and diverse applications for biopolymers, recycled and CO₂-based plastics
- Advanced concepts and technologies (e.g. recycling, logistics) to promote a sustainable circular economy
A special highlight will be the presentation by our Managing Director, Johann Zimmermann, who will speak on "Bioplastic Packaging" starting at 12:30 PM on the second day of the conference. He will explore how companies and consumers assess the value of sustainability, whether this is limited by price, and whether the critical questions surrounding bioplastic packaging also apply to other materials.
About BioBASE
BioBASE acts as a central innovation platform for the bioeconomy and circular economy, serving as an information hub and service agency for stakeholders from business, science, administration, and politics. In light of the challenges posed by the climate crisis and raw material scarcity, BioBASE is committed to fundamentally transforming today's economic and energy system: moving away from fossil fuels toward renewable resources (NAWAROs) and bio-based materials that are used sustainably and kept in circulation for as long as possible.
The goal of BioBASE is to actively promote this transformation toward a bio-based and sustainable economy. It brings together stakeholders, facilitates effective exchange and close networking, supports research projects, and raises awareness of bioeconomy and the circular economy in society. The focus is on developing a future-proof bio-based circular economy that combines ecological and economic sustainability.
