Biopolymer Days 2020 (ONLINE)
During the past years, crucial legislative changes have been conducted in the field of plastics manufacturing and processing, which included significant provisions for the entire plastics industry. Europe has assumed an international lead role in fostering economic efficiency and sustainability in an efficient symbiosis. Bioplastics serve as an important element in all EU strategies. This is due to their bio-based foundation and biodegradability. The DACH region, as the economically strongest region in Europe, plays an important role in implementing those strategies. In order to discuss latest developments and innovations in the bioplastics industry, ecoplus organizes the Biopolymer Days, which are taking place as an online conference 17/18. June. The program includes sessions on bio-refineries and bioeconomy, the production of bio-based polymers, material properties and compounds, mechanical and organic recycling as well as product solutions and products made from bioplastics. To mention only few highlights: Karin Fackler, Lenzing on Biorefinery, Hans Josef Endres, University of Leibnitz on Circularity of PLA and Michael Brandkamp on the new European Circular Bioeconomy Fund.

15th European Bioplastics Conference
The European Bioplastics Conference, taking place on 1/2 December 2020, is the leading business and discussion forum in Europe for the global bioplastics sector. With more and more brands and manufacturers embracing the potential of biopolymers, and with policy makers increasingly streamlining their efforts to create frameworks that benefit the growth of sustainable bio-industries, this is the time to put bioplastics on top of the agenda of a bio-based circular economy in Europe and beyond. This year’s conference will focus on the latest innovations in bioplastics as well as on environmental aspects and opportunities for growth. With an attractive speaker line-up expected, the conference will, once again, gather senior decision makers from across the private sector bioplastics value chain, policy makers, leading research institutes, NGOs, and brand owners. The conference highlights the latest developments in the areas of bio-based and biodegradable materials and applications, bioplastics processing, end-of-life, sustainability and policy.
