bio!PAC 2025

International online conference on packaging made of bioplastics and plastics from renewable carbon

Sustainable Packaging

  • Can be recyclable, biodegradable, or both.
  • Can be made from biobased, biowaste, or renewable carbon sources.
  • Can offer innovative features and beneficial new barrier properties.
  • Can help prevent the accumulation of microplastics in our environment.
  • Helps reduce the depletion of finite fossil resources and lowers CO2 emissions.

Challenges
Most plastic packaging is made from fossil-based resources, is rarely recycled, and not biodegradable. Additionally, these plastic packaging can contribute to the long-term accumulation of microplastics.

Innovative bioplastics offer a sustainable alternative. They bring new features and can have multiple end-of-life options: recyclable and/or biodegradable. Furthermore, some bioplastics can be produced and recycled with a lower energy and carbon footprint.

At bio!PAC 2025, the focus will be on retail packaging based on biobased feedstock, providing genuine environmental benefits. Special attention will be paid to the criteria for these applications.

Online conference
That’s why Renewable Carbon Plastics, in cooperation with Green Serendipity) , is organizing the 6th edition of bio!PAC—the international conference on bioplastics & packaging.

Experts from all areas of bioplastics & packaging will present their latest developments or research. The conference will also cover discussions like end-of-life options, consumer behavior issues, availability of agricultural land for material use versus food and feed etc.

The conference will be a online event that will be recorded and made available for convenient watching (video-on-demand) for at least 3 months after the event. All presentations will be made available (pdf) as well.
