Circular Packaging & Biopolymer Summit 2026

Circular Packaging & Biopolymer 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.

The Circular Packaging & Biopolymer Summit is a boutique event designed to bring together high-level representatives from across the industry to explore these trends and their implications. As consumer demand for sustainable solutions is on the rise, collaboration between material scientists, brand owners, policy experts, and logistics leaders becomes essential. By aligning incentives and sharing evidence, we can develop scalable packaging solutions that meet both regulatory obligations and real-world needs.

We believe that by fostering cross-functional collaboration and embracing innovative practices, the packaging sector can effectively address the challenges of cost, circularity, and compliance. This event offers a unique opportunity to network, share insights, and contribute to a more sustainable future for packaging and materials.

Circular Packaging & Biopolymer conference is a must-attend event for any sustainability focused company looking to manufacture their products from more sustainable materials, understand the opportunities of bioplastics / biopolymers and its role in the circular economy and understand the benefits of combining the use of compostable plastics and recycling to address the plastic waste problem we currently face.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the topics surrounding the Circular Packaging & Biopolymer event including the benefits, policy, structure, challenges and drive. Grab this opportunity to network and exchange ideas with intellects who specialize in this special sector and industry.
