Reminder

Join us for a workshop on "Alternative feedstock for biobased plastics: bridging the gap between research and market"

Dear Sir or Madam,

we still have a few seats left for our final event of our EUBP Talk series on Alternative Feedstock. Please note, that this is an in-person event only in Brussels. 

The European Union has the aspiration to have at least 20% of the carbon used in chemical and plastic products from sustainable non-fossil sources by 2030. This provides an incredible opportunity for the upscaling of alternative feedstock uses for bioplastics.

In this respect, we organized five successful EUBP Talks on alternative feedstock, where a member of the research and innovation community explored a case study of alternative feedstock uses, explaining the successes and bottlenecks.

Today, we are pleased to invite you to the final live event of this series, a workshop entitled “Alternative feedstock for biobased plastics: bridging the gap between research and market". Our workshop will be held on 16 October 2024 at EUBP premises in Brussels, Avenue Palmerston 3. It is an in-person  event. After a focus session on the latest key results in research and innovation in the field by EU–funded project experts, we will have a panel discussion exploring the existing barriers and necessary policy incentives to scale up the latest results of research and innovation to industrial production.

For that occasion, we are happy to announce our speakers and our panellists:

The speakers:

• Pablo Ferrero Aguar, AIMPLAS
• Tanja Meyer, Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant
• Miriam Lorenzo Navarro, ITENE
  
• Joachim Venus, Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Engineering and Bio-economy
  

• Tsjerk Terpstra, DG AGRI
• Silvia Maltagliati, DG RTD
  
• Fredrik Malmfors, Lignin Industries
  
• Sara Guerrini, Novamont
• Joan Marc Simon, ZeroWaste Europe
  

We hope our workshop to be insightful to all participants and that it will lead us to some key policy recommendations for more sustainable use of alternative feedstocks in the bioplastics production.

Date: 16 October 2024
Time: 16:00 – 18:30  CET, followed by a networking dinner.
Please register here.

We are looking very much forward to welcome you in Brussels.

Kind regards,
EUBP Team
