Past event: World Biopolymers and Bioplastics Innovation Forum

The global bioplastics production will more than triple over the next five years (2021-2026), from around 2.4 million tons in 2021 to 7.5 million tons in 2026, according to market data compiled by European Bioplastics. The development of biodegradable, biobased polymers and plastics from renewable sources such as plants, animals, and microorganisms are gaining engrossing attention nowadays as an essential element to protect the environment from the harmful toxic effects of non-biodegradable synthetic polymers/plastics.

The primary factor driving the growth of the bioplastics & biopolymers market is the rapidly growing need to adopt environmental-friendly measures. Moreover, governments in various countries have introduced stringent government regulations, especially in Europe and North America, in order to boost the use of environment-friendly products. Bio-based plastics and polymers are gaining popularity as the end-use industries are upscaling the adoption of bio-based polymers. Apart from that, the growing need for environment-friendly and lightweight materials in manufacturing vehicle components is expected to bring ample growth opportunities for the bioplastics & biopolymers market

The World Bioplastics and Biopolymers summit will bring together more than 150+ industry experts from biopolymers manufacturers, chemical companies, major associations, raw materials, and technology companies, consultants, to discuss the latest developments, cutting-edge technologies, new challenges and opportunities in bioplastics and sustainable biocomposites. More and more brands and manufacturers are embracing the potential of biopolymers, and policy makers are increasingly streamlining their efforts to create frameworks that benefit the growth of sustainable bio-industries. Now is the time to put bioplastics at the top of the agenda of a bio-based circular economy in Europe and beyond.
