European Bioplastics Innovation Award
European Bioplastics is proud to announce the launch of its Bioplastics Innovation Award 2025, a new initiative to honour outstanding innovations that drive sustainable transformation in the plastics sector. The award will be presented during the 20th European Bioplastics Conference (EBC25) on 2–3 December 2025 in Berlin and online, highlighting the most impactful innovations in the bioplastics sector.
