Info: Call for Innovations and Abstracts: Renewable Materials Conference, hybrid event, 18-20 May 2021

Deadline for submission: 31 March 2021

Featuring a unique concept to present all sustainable and renewable material solutions at one event: bio-based, CO2-based and recycled. This time, the conference will be held as hybrid event. 300 to 400 participants are expected.

Dear experts,

The innovation award „Renewable Material of the Year“ is new and unique. It will will be carried out within the framework of the „Renewable Materials Conference 2021“ (Cologne, Germany / hybrid event). For the first time, there will be a comprehensive award for the best renewable materials – which can be produced either from biomass, directly via CO2 utilisation, or recycling. Naturally, this includes the established areas of bio-based polymers and biocomposites.


The most exciting new materials made from renewable carbon will be nominated, which all have one thing in common: They avoid and substitute fossil-based materials. The renewable materials should already be on the market in products or their market introduction should take place in the foreseeable future. Companies looking for renewable materials should be able to source them soon. The award is given by nova-Institute and sponsored by COVESTRO.

Among the applicants, six candidates will be nominated for the award by an independent expert jury, who will then get the opportunity to hold a ten-minute presentation at the conference. The participants of the conference will elect the final winner of the innovation award „Renewable Material of the Year“.

Applying to the award is free of charge and each nominated ''Top 6'' candidate will receive one free 3-day ticket to attend the conference. This is a unique opportunity to promote your innovations and products. nova-Institute will issue a worldwide press release and use all communication channels to publish the award-winning innovations.
