Invitation: Join us for the second EUBP Talk of our webinar series on Alternative Feedstock

Dear Members,

After a successful first edition on 10 April, we are continuing this series focused on alternative sustainable feedstock sources for bioplastics.

For our second EUBP Talk entitled “From organic waste to plastic monomers”, Joachim Venus, from the Leibniz-Institut für Agrartechnik und Bioökonomie e.V. (ATB), will cover the results of two BBI-funded projects, CAFIPLA and PERCAL, which have investigated the use of organic waste to produce plastic monomers. Biowaste can be the source of feedstock for the bioeconomy.

Background of the project: PERCAL focused on Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) as a feedstock to develop intermediate chemical products at high yield and low impurity level with huge industrial interest. CAFIPLA is implementing a novel approach to biomass pre-treatment. As opposed to current sugar/starch-dominated bio-economy schemes, the CAFIPLA project relies on the combination of a Carboxylic Acid Platform (CAP) and Fibre Recovery Platform (FRP), to valorise biomass into biochemicals, bioproducts, feed and biomaterials.

Date: 15 May 2024
Time: 10:00 – 10:45 am (CET)

This session aims to foster informal discussion and is a great opportunity for industry and researchers to gather in a relaxed setting and exchange ideas on this important subject.

Please note that this session will not be recorded, and the presentation will not be shared afterwards. Instead, we encourage open dialogue and interaction among participants.

We look forward to continuing our series with you over a virtual coffee and exploring this exciting topic together!

Kind regards,
EUBP Team
