Which renewable materials are solutions that meet the needs of future societies? As a response to this challenging question, nova-Institute has decided to unite all relevant industries in the new “Renewable Materials Conference”, May 18–20, 2021, featuring a unique concept to present all renewable material solutions at one event: bio-based, CO2-based and recycled. There is a growing market demand for advanced and ready-to-use renewable material solutions with a low carbon footprint – that are fossil-free.
For the first time, nova-Institute jointly presents all renewable material solutions: bio-based, CO2-based and recycled. Highlights and innovations of bio- and CO2-based chemicals and materials, and of chemical recycling will be presented. Or in other words: All material solutions based on renewable carbon – avoiding the use of additional fossil carbon.
Program highlights of the 3rd conference day
The three-day program of the first Renewable Materials Conference is almost final and gives a complete overview of the latest renewable material solutions, a performance show for a wide range of sustainable raw materials and technologies.
The third conference day (20 May 2021) is about markets, trends and sustainability of bio- and CO2-based polymers and biocomposites, political framework conditions, biodegradability and packaging solutions. Four experts from nova-institute will give a comprehensive market and trend overview. Unilever and VAUDE will follow with keynotes on creating demand for renewable materials, and WWF and DG Environment on sustainability and future policies. Presentations from Carbiolice, FKuR and Papiertechnische Stiftung will provide deeper insights into bio-based solutions. Also, Fibres and biocomposites show exciting renewable material solutions. We will be delighted to hear exciting presentations on the latest trends and developments from Amorim Cork, Bcomp, HempFlax, Lenzing and Stora Enso.
