European Bioplastics Innovation Award
EUBP has launched the European Bioplastics Innovation Award 2026, an initiative to honour outstanding innovations that drive sustainable transformation in the bioplastics sector. The award will be presented during the 21st European Bioplastics Conference (EBC26) on 1–2 December 2026 in Berlin and online, highlighting the most impactful innovations in the bioplastics sector.
As we celebrate the 21st edition of EBC, we are excited to bring this recognition of bioplastics excellence back to the stage. The award aims to highlight developments that combine technological excellence with real sustainability impact and strong market relevance.
Our team of experts have selected the five most convincing entries, who will be invited to present their innovations in a short pitch at EBC26. The winner will be chosen by live audience vote – both on-site and online.
