The traditional plastics industry uses fossil-based carbon polymers in the majority (97%) of its production and conversion processes. As we move to a less fossil-based world we must also look to new feedstocks other than virgin oil and gas for most of our polymer manufactured products.

Plastics Live is delighted to support and host the Innovate UK’s Circular Plastics Network as it holds a full day’s conference stream at our event in Coventry this year that will look to the future for polymer sources and solutions to transitioning to a new bio-economy for plastics.

Sessions will include speakers on the following content:

Recycled polymer sources
Plant-based traditional polymer replacements.
Plastics and plastic-like materials from the bioeconomy
Green chemistry for polymers of the future
Emerging business models to fit the transition to alternative polymers
The role of additives in bio-plastics

The conference is free to attend, so please register today to ensure you secure your place at this event. Conference delegates will have the chance to visit exhibitors plus engage in networking opportunities.
