Nordic Bioplastic Conference 2025

On April 24th in Copenhagen, the Nordic Bioplastic Conference 2025 will showcase the latest innovations in biobased and biodegradable plastics. An extensive program provides the opportunity to explore the possibilities within this diverse set of materials.

The Nordic Bioplastic Conference 2025 will bring together experts from the entire bioplastics value chain to update the industry on developments within the field. In addition to industry case studies and market and application overviews, the event will also feature input from experts, policymakers, and consultants.

Why attend the conference?

Attend if you want the latest updates on one of the important materials of the future.
Attend to learn from industry cases on applications of biobased and biodegradable plastic materials
Attend to network with professionals from the biobased economy and share your knowledge.

Table top exhibition

As previous years, the conference creates space for a bioplastic-exhibition. Delegates from the industry can apply for a cafe table and bring samples, cases and a roll-up for the exhibition. Please contact bioplasticconference@plast.dk if you want to exhibit.

Secondary diols can increase the Tg of polyesters, but their low reactivity often leads to low molecular weights. Isosorbide, a biomass-derived monomer, shows promise for high Tg polyesters but has been limited by these challenges. Recent advancements have enabled its bulk use, resulting in high Tg polyesters for applications like hot-filling packaging and ABS replacements. This presentation will focus on polyesters for ABS replacement and other secondary diol-based polyesters.

What happens when design is based on the properties of the material?
Bundle, a chair made from flax fiber and PLA, demonstrates how biocomposites can open up new design possibilities.

Talere: Jón Hinrik Höskuldsson & Kirstine Sejersen Det Kongelige Akademi

12:10 - 12:30

REThiNk - Research project
Wastewater offers potential for sustainable biopolymers, like extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which can replace oil-based polymers. EPS is biodegradable, has a lower CO2 footprint, and can be used in construction, 3D printing, and flocculants. Up to a third of wastewater sludge can be used for EPS production. The REThiNk project, with Aalborg University, aims to optimize EPS extraction in Danish plants, supporting the circular economy and reducing CO2 emissions.

Talere: Per Halkjær Aalborg University
