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 bioplastics 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.
As we celebrate the 20th edition of EBC, we are excited to bring this recognition of bioplastics excellence back to the stage.
We invite companies, start-ups, research institutions, and innovators to submit their most promising bioplastic products, materials, or solutions. The award aims to highlight developments that combine technological excellence with real sustainability impact and strong market relevance.
Our team of experts will select the five most convincing entries, who will be invited to present their innovations in a short pitch at EBC25. The winner will be chosen by live audience vote – both on-site and online.
