European Bioplastics Conference promotes innovation and collaboration

The European Bioplastics Conference 2024 is scheduled to take place on 10–11 December at the Titanic Hotel in Berlin, Germany. Widely recognised as Europe’s foremost platform for business and discussion in the bioplastics sector, this event will bring together stakeholders from various industries, policy makers, and researchers to explore the growing role of biopolymers in sustainable development. With increasing adoption by brands and manufacturers, and the alignment of policies to support bio-industries, the event seeks to emphasise bioplastics as a cornerstone of a biobased circular economy both in Europe and globally.

The conference will feature a hybrid format, allowing participants to attend in person or remotely. Both options provide valuable opportunities for interaction and networking. Attendees can also engage with an extensive exhibition, available on-site and online, where organisations can select tailored booth options to showcase their work.

As a bonus, two free side events will be held to complement the main conference. On 9 December, a session on recycling technologies and approaches will take place from 17:00 to 20:00 CET, in collaboration with EU-funded research and innovation projects. On 12 December, from 09:00 to 15:30 CET, the completion of the EU-funded PRESERVE project will be celebrated, highlighting advancements in bio-based packaging solutions.

The event’s focus includes recent innovations in bio-based and biodegradable plastics, policy updates, environmental considerations, and opportunities for growth in the circular economy. With a diverse programme, expert speakers will address key developments in bioplastics materials, processing techniques, sustainability, and regulatory matters. The conference attracts around 400 senior-level attendees from the private sector, policy-making bodies, research institutions, NGOs, and major brands.

Networking opportunities are a vital part of the event. Attendees can look forward to engaging formats such as a social evening, networking breaks, a drinks reception, and a digital partnering tool to facilitate meaningful connections. Additionally, up to 40 exhibitors will present the latest bioplastics innovations, products, and services, making the conference a hub for showcasing advancements in the field.

The European Bioplastics Conference 2024 promises to be an essential gathering for those invested in the future of bioplastics, offering a comprehensive blend of innovation, discussion, and collaboration opportunities.
