EUBP Talk #6: Material Solutions – Bioplastics Beyond Packaging: Medical Devices & Hygiene Products

Few sectors face stricter requirements than medical and hygiene-related applications. From medical devices to everyday hygiene products, materials must meet the highest standards in safety, performance and regulatory compliance, while also responding to increasing sustainability demands.

Bioplastics are beginning to enter this highly demanding space.

What if bio-based materials could deliver the required functionality for medical and hygiene applications while reducing environmental impact? How can they meet strict requirements for sterility, durability and safety? And where do they already provide viable alternatives to conventional plastics?

This edition of the EUBP Talks explores how bioplastics are being developed and applied across medical devices and hygiene products. From regulated healthcare applications to everyday use cases, the session will provide insights into material performance, processing requirements and market readiness.

Join us to understand how advances in polymer science and material engineering are enabling new solutions in these highly sensitive and performance-driven sectors. Whether you are active in medical technology, hygiene products, materials development, regulatory affairs or sustainability strategy, this session will offer practical insights and forward-looking perspectives.

High-performance materials are evolving. Ready to apply them where it matters most?
