European Bioplastics has launched a series of informal talks focusing on alternative sustainable feedstock sources for bioplastics.

During the EUBP Talks, outstanding researchers, organisations and companies interested in monitoring the innovation emerging from recent projects and initiatives can come together to exchange ideas and solutions in an informal setting.

The series, consisting of 5 webinars from April until September, will run until an in-person event in Brussels in October 2024.

The views and opinions expressed in these webinars are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official position of European Bioplastics and its members.

See below upcoming and past talks and stay tuned!

Upcoming EUBP Talks

The fifth EUBP Talk will host Fredrik Malmfors from Ligning Industries, who will cover the topic “Solving the lignin conundrum to create scalable, CAPEX-efficient CO2-reduction in the plastics industry”. It will take place on 04 September 2024.
For decades, the forestry and pulp milling industries have been looking for ways to valorize Lignin. Typically being burnt for energy purposes in pulp mills, Lignin is abundantly available globally and could close the perceived “biomass” gap. Lignin Industries’ patented technology can now reduce 15-40% of fossil raw materials in PE, PP and ABS with more polymers to come. Being a true drop-in material as well as fully recyclable, it helps the plastic industry transition to climate-friendlier materials. Register here.
