Recycling strategies for bioplastics: What is next?

At the EBC 24, 9 December 2024, Berlin, from 5-8 pm CET, online/in person event.

ReBioCycle Speaker: Jan Pels, TORWASH.

The event is organised by European Bioplastics.

Goals:

• Connect experts working on novel or improved recycling and upcycling technologies for bioplastics from academia and industrial stakeholders operating in recycling from the foundation (waste sorting and pretreatment, creation of value chains) to recycling technologies (from mechanical to chemical recycling and biological recycling), to upscaling and developing new products.
• Provide insights into the latest research and innovative developments on the topic.
• Present the plans of the newly started EU-funded projects, MoeBIOS, ReBioCycle and PROSPER including their plans to work on novel and improved recycling technologies. 
• Dissemination of preliminary results of novel research approaches of EU-funded projects BioSupPack and BIOMAC. 
• Gather inputs on upcoming challenges from industrial stakeholders and recyclers will be gathered to advance research, innovation and market applicability in the field.

Participants will also be able to meet the experts from the five projects (BioSupPack, BIOMAC, MoeBIOS, ReBioCycle and PROSPER) via speed dating. These projects are developing many recycling technologies to reintroduce bioplastics into the loop for different applications, including food and drink packaging.
