Side Event: Recycling strategies for bioplastics
Recycling strategies for bioplastics: what’s next?
At the EBC 24, 9 December 2024, Berlin
5-8 pm CET
Including networking reception
Location: Titanic Hotel Berlin, Chausseestraße 30, 10115 Berlin.
Meeting room: Stuttgart, 1st floor.
Participation in this event is open to EBC participants and other interested stakeholders.
The goal of this EBC 24 side event on Recycling strategies for bioplastics is to connect experts working on novel or improved recycling and upcycling technologies for bioplastics from academia and industrial stakeholders. At the event, we will investigate the whole process, from the foundation (waste sorting and pretreatment, creation of value chains) to recycling technologies (from mechanical to chemical recycling, and biological recycling), to upscaling and the development of new products.
Participants will get insights into the latest research and innovative developments on the topic. Preliminary results of novel research approaches will be disseminated, with inputs from the EU-funded projects BioSupPack and BIOMAC. The newly started EU-funded projects, MoeBIOS, ReBioCycle and PROSPER will also be introduced, including their plans to work on novel and improved recycling technologies. Inputs on upcoming challenges from industrial stakeholders and recyclers will be gathered to contribute to the advancement of research and innovation and market applicability on the field.
Participants will also be able to meet the experts from the five projects (BioSupPack, BIOMAC, MoeBIOS, ReBioCycle and PROSPER) via speed dating. These projects are developing a myriad of recycling technologies to reintroduce bioplastics into the loop for different applications, including food and drinks packaging.
The event will close with a networking reception in which opportunities for matchmaking will be offered.
