15th European Bioplastics Conference (online)
The European Bioplastics Conference, taking place online in the first week of December, 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. 15th European Bioplastics Conference (online)

News and updates for EUBP members
New Members: We are happy to welcome Fiberweb (Berlin, Germany) and CJ Europe (Frankfurt a.M., Germany) as new EUBP members. Read more about it soon in our Members Area on our website. EUBP Projects: Two applications under the Horizon 2020 (H2020) programme involving European Bioplastics have been selected for funding and are currently in the preparation phase: The PRESERVE project with a two-years runtime and a budget of nearly 8 million € will develop high performance sustainable bio-based packaging and tailor its end of life for upcycled secondary use. European Bioplastics will support the project’s communication & dissemination (C&D) as well as the monitoring and further development of existing standards. BIOMAC with a timeframe of 4 years and a budget of 16.7 million is an open innovation test bed that aims at establishing a "European Sustainable Bio-based Nanomaterials Community". The H2020 project brings together 33 partners which will create a network of pilot plants across Europe, establishing a hub for bio-based and nanomaterial platform chemicals. European Bioplastics will serve as Single Point Entry, organizing enquiries of potential customers and coordinating them with the project consortium. In addition, EUBP will be responsible for compliance and the regulatory framework of nanomaterials as well as supporting the project’s C&D. AOB: In our online members area, you will find detailed information on the latest development in our network, minutes and documents from our Product and Working Groups, and updates on past and upcoming Members Meetings.
