13th Bio-based Materials Conference

Memo

Despite the challenging environment, innovative companies find markets for their new bio-based building blocks, chemicals and polymers. The 13th International Conference on Bio-based Materials presents success stories and upcoming technological breakthroughs in the bioeconomy. Bio-based polymers can be found in almost all application sectors, such as packaging, consumer goods, toys, automotive, textiles or coating. New bio-based building blocks are also available for body care, cosmetics, food ingredients and pharmaceuticals. On top of that, more and more biogenic side streams from the food industry are utilised via biotechnology as part of the circular bioeconomy. In 2020 the Bio-based Materials Conference will be focused on:• Policy and Markets• Fine chemicals in body care, cosmetics, food ingredients and pharmaceuticals• Circular bioeconomy, biorefineries and especially lignin utilisation• New opportunities for bio-based building blocks and polymers
